摘要：

In this paper we study a combinatorial matrix considered by W. B. R. Lickorish. We prove a conjecture by Lickorish that completes his topological and combinatorial proof of the existence of the Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev 3-manifold invariants. We derive a recursive formula for the determinant of the matrix and discover some interesting numerical relations.
