Abstract
It is shown that there is an interesting interplay between self-duality, loop representation and knot invariants in the quantum theory of Maxwell fields in Minkowski spacetime. Specifically, in the loop representation based on self-dual connections, the measure that dictates the inner product can be expressed in terms of the Gauss-linking number of thickened loops.
