The Jones polynomial was originally defined by constructing a Markov trace on the sequence of Temperley-Lieb algebras. In this paper we give a programme for constructing other link invariants by the same method. The data for the constructions is a representation of the three string braid group.
to the memories of wilhelm magnus and horace mochizuki ## 1. Introduction Let B n designate the braid group on n strings (Artin [1]). In 1936 Burau [7] gave a matrix representation of B n and in 1961 Gassner [8] generalized Burau's representation. B 2 is infinite cyclic and hence is a linear group
