Combinatorial Approach to Milnor Invariants of Welded Links
نویسندگان
چکیده
For a classical link, Milnor defined family of isotopy invariants, called μ‾-invariants. Recently, Chrisman extended μ‾-invariants to welded links by topological approach. The aim this paper is showing that can be combinatorial proof contains an alternative the invariance original for links.

Finite Type Invariants and Milnor Invariants for Brunnian Links
A link L in the 3-sphere is called Brunnian if every proper sublink of L is trivial. In a previous paper, the first author proved that the restriction to Brunnian links of any Goussarov-Vassiliev finite type invariant of (n + 1)component links of degree < 2n is trivial. The purpose of this paper is to study the first nontrivial case. We show that the restriction of an invariant of degree 2n to ...
متن کاملLinks with Trivial Alexander Module and Nontrivial Milnor Invariants
Cochran constructed many links with Alexander module that of the unlink and some nonvanishing Milnor invariants, using as input commutators in a free group and as an invariant the longitudes of the links. We present a different and conjecturally complete construction, that uses elementary properties of clasper surgery, and a different invariant, the tree-part of the LMO invariant. Our method al...
متن کاملMilnor Invariants for Spatial Graphs
Link homotopy has been an active area of research for knot theorists since its introduction by Milnor in the 1950s. We introduce a new equivalence relation on spatial graphs called component homotopy, which reduces to link homotopy in the classical case. Unlike previous attempts at generalizing link homotopy to spatial graphs, our new relation allows analogues of some standard link homotopy res...
متن کاملWeight systems for Milnor invariants
We use Polyak’s skein relation to give a new proof that Milnor’s string link invariants μ12...n are finite type invariants, and to develop a recursive relation for their associated weight systems. We show that the obstruction to the triviality of these weight systems is the presence of a certain kind of spanning tree in the intersection graph of a chord diagram.
متن کاملTopological Invariants of Real Milnor Fibres
Let F : (R,0)→(R,0) and g : (R,0)→R be analytic germs, let Br ⊂ R be a closed ball of small radius centred at the origin, and let Wz = F −1(z) ∩ Br. Let λ(g;Wz) = ∑ p(−1), where λ(p) is the Morse index at a critical point p of a Morse function which approximates g|Wz. For F and g satisfying some natural assumptions, we shall show that there is a finite family of analytic germs θi(z) such that λ...
