This paper describes a method to obtain state model parameters for an infinite series of Links-Gould link invariants LG m,n , based on quantum R matrices associated with the (0m |αn) representations of the quantum superalgebras Uq[gl(m|n)]. Explicit details of the state models for the cases n = 1 and m = 1, 2, 3, 4 are supplied. Some gross properties of the link invariants are provided, as well as some explicit evaluations. * RIMS, Kyoto University 606-8502, Japan. ddw@kurims. kyoto-u.ac.jp Corresponding to each finite dimensional highest weight representation of each quantum superalgebra, there exists a quantum link invariant (LG), originally described in [17]. These invariants are similar to those associated with the usual (i.e. ungraded) quantum algebras (e.g. [10,11,23]), although there are some technical differences.Here, we describe the construction of parameters for state models for evaluating a class of these invariants. Specifically, we will define LG m,n to be the quantum link invariant associated with the representation π ≡ π Λ of highest weight Λ = (0 m |α n ), of the quantum superalgebra U q [gl(m|n)]. To do so, we first broadly introduce the algebraic structures, then we briefly review the terminology used to describe state model parameters, and finally, we look at the construction of specific state model parameters for our particular class of representations.The reader will have by now appreciated the recurring patterns in the components of our R matrices. To save space, we introduce a little more notation, which eliminates the q brackets altogether. To whit, we write:where z ∈ { 1 2 , 1}, and i ∈ {0, 1, 2, 3}. With this notation, the braid generator σ has 758 nonzero components: q
