Combined with the formula for the universal weight system for the Lie superalgebra $gl(1|1)$ (which corresponds to the Alexander-Conway knot polynomial) this formula gives a very short proof of the Melvin-Morton conjecture relating the colored Jones invariant and the Alexander-Conway polynomial of knots.20 pages, LaTeX with bezier.styQuantum AlgebraUniversal weight systems and the Melvin-Morton expansion of the colored Jones knot invarianttext
