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 کاملClaspers and finite type invariants of links
We introduce the concept of “claspers,” which are surfaces in 3–manifolds with some additional structure on which surgery operations can be performed. Using claspers we define for each positive integer k an equivalence relation on links called “Ck–equivalence,” which is generated by surgery operations of a certain kind called “Ck–moves”. We prove that two knots in the 3–sphere are Ck+1–equivale...
متن کاملMilnor and Finite Type Invariants of Plat-closures
Finite type invariants of knots or links can be defined combinatorially using only link projections in S. In this setting it can be seen that every Jones-type polynomial invariant (quantum invariants) is equivalent to a sequence of finite type invariants. See [B2, BN] and references therein. Although Vassiliev’s original approach to finite type knot invariants ([V]) rests on topological foundat...
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 کاملOn Brunnian-type Links and the Link Invariants given by Homotopy Groups of Spheres
We introduce the (general) homotopy groups of spheres as link invariants for Brunnian-type links through the investigations on the intersection subgroup of the normal closures of the meridians of strongly nonsplittable links. The homotopy groups measure the difference between the intersection subgroup and symmetric commutator subgroup of the normal closures of the meridians and give the invaria...
