Abstract
Vassiliev, invariants up to order six for arbitrary torus knots {n, m}
, with n and m coprime integers, are computed. These invariants are po
lynomials in n and m whose degree coincide with their order. Furthermo
re, they turn out to be integer-valued in a normalization previously p
roposed by the authors.
