Abstract:
The traces in the construction of Kauffman’s knot invariants are studied. The trace space is determined for a semisimple finite–dimensional quantum Hopf algebra and the best lower bound of the dimension of the trace space is given for a unimodular finite–dimensional quantum Hopf algebra.References
