Abstract

Vassiliev invariants up to order six for arbitrary torus knots {n,m}\{ n , m \}, with nn and mm coprime integers, are computed. These invariants are polynomials in nn and mm whose degree coincide with their order. Furthermore, they turn out to be integer-valued in a normalization previously proposed by the authors.
