We show that the Alexander-Conway polynomialis obtain- able via a particular one-variable reduction of each two-variable Links- Gould invariant LG m,1 , where m is a positive integer. Thus there exist infinitely many two-variable generalisations of �. This result is not obvi- ous since in the reduction, the representation of the braid group generator used to define LG m,1 does not satisfy a second-order characteristic identity unless m = 1. To demonstrate that the one-variable reduction of LG m,1 satisfies the defining skein relation of �, we evaluate the kernel of a quan- tum trace. AMS Classification 57M25, 57M27; 17B37, 17B81
