Abstract

Color Lie algebras, which were introduced by Ree, are a graded extension of Lie (super)algebras by an abelian group. We show that the color Lie algebras can be used to construct universal weight systems for knot invariants of of Vassiliev and Kontsevich. As a simple example, we take Z2×Z2\mathbb{Z}_2 \times \mathbb{Z}_2 as the grading group and consider the four-dimensional color Lie algebra called A1ϵA1_{\epsilon}. The weight system constructed from A1ϵA1_{\epsilon} is studied in some detail and some relations between the weights, such as the recurrence relation for chord diagrams, are derived. These relations show that the weight system from A1ϵA1_{\epsilon} is a hybrid of those from sl(2)sl(2) and gl(11)gl(1|1).
