There have been several methods to show that the expectation values of Wilson loop operators in the Chern–Simons gauge theory satisfy the HOMFLY skein relation. We shall give another method from the perturbative method of the Chern–Simons gauge theory in the light-cone gauge, which is more direct than already known methods.
