Algebraic Struct., Warsaw/Poland 1988, Banach Cent. Publ. 26, Part 2, 425-432 (1990). Summary: [For the entire collection see Zbl 0716.00007.]This note is mainly expository. It discusses the trace function of the title [see V. F. R. Jones, Ann. Math., II. Ser. 126, 335-388 (1987; Zbl 0631.57005)] as much as possible from the point of view offered by the general theory of Weyl groups and their Hecke algebras.
