Abstract
Starting from the free field realization of Kac-Moody Lie algebra, we define a generalized Yang-Yang function. Then for the Lie algebra of type , we derive braiding and fusion matrix by braiding the thimble from the generalized Yang-Yang function. One can construct a knots invariant from the braiding and fusion matrix. It is an isotropy invariant and obeys a skein relation. From them, we show that the corresponding knots invariant is HOMFLY polynomial.
