Abstract
It is shown that braid matrices and link polynomials can be systematically constructed from exactly solvable models in statistical mechanics. Through symmetry breaking transformations, different braid matrices are derived from a solvable model. By associating the Markov traces with multi-variable representations, multi-variable link polynomials are obtained. Infinitesimal operators for braid matrices are constructed. Connection of our approach to the conformal field theories and the topological quantum field theory is discussed.
