Kashaev, R. M. A link invariant from quantum dilogarithm. (English) Zbl 1022.81574 Mod. Phys. Lett. A 10, No. 19, 1409-1418 (1995). Summary: The link invariant, arising from the cyclic quantum dilogarithm via the particular \(R\)-matrix construction is proved to coincide with the invariant of triangulated links in \(S^3\) introduced in [the author, Mod. Phys. Lett. A 9, No. 40, 3757–3768 (1994; Zbl 1015.17500)]. The obtained invariant, like Alexander-Conway polynomial, vanishes on disjoint union of links. The \(R\)-matrix can be considered as the cyclic analog of the universal \(R\)-matrix associated with \(U_q(sl(2))\) algebra.
