The proof relies on the use of the weight systems coming from the Lie algebra gl(N). In fact, we show that our bound is - up to multiplication with a rational function in n - the best possible that one can get with gl(N)-weight systems.11 pages, 12 figuresGeometric TopologyCombinatorics57M25, 05C10text
