The html version has some hyperlinks! This bibliography is frozen (see Section 5). An active version is maintained by Sergei Duzhin at http://www.pdmi.ras.ru/˜duzhin/VasBib. This is a partial bibliography of papers on Vassiliev invariants. It aims to be a complete listing of all the papers on the subject, but at this time, it still fails. If your paper (or a paper you are aware of) is omitted (or abused in any other way), it is simply because of the haphazard way by which this bibliography is organized, and not because of a secret plan of mine to ruin your (or anybody else’s) reputation. Let me know (please::: I want this bibliography to be as complete as possible!) and it will be fixed. Allow me just one selfish rule: I will not enter any paper into this bibliography unless I have (or I am given) a copy of it.

The intersection of each of these knots with the standard R3 ⊂ R4 is a nontrivial knot in R3. Thus a natural problem is to identify which knots can occur as such slices of knotted 2–spheres. Initially it seemed possible that every knot is such a slice knot and it wasn’t until the early 1960s that Murasugi [86] and Fox and Milnor [24, 25] succeeded at proving that some knots are not slice. Slice knots can be used to define an equivalence relation on the set of knots in S3: knots K and J are equivalent if K# − J is slice. With this equivalence the set of knots becomes a group, the concordance group of knots. Much progress has been made in studying slice knots and the concordance group, yet some of the most easily asked questions remain untouched.

  • Arxiv:1901.01393V2 [Math.GT] 27 Apr 2020 Levine-Tristram Signature and Nullity of a Knot
    STABLY SLICE DISKS OF LINKS ANTHONY CONWAY AND MATTHIAS NAGEL Abstract. We define the stabilizing number sn(K) of a knot K ⊂ S3 as the minimal number n of S2 × S2 connected summands required for K to bound a nullhomologous locally flat disk in D4# nS2 × S2. This quantity is defined when the Arf invariant of K is zero. We show that sn(K) is bounded below by signatures and Casson-Gordon invariants and bounded above by top the topological 4-genus g4 (K). We provide an infinite family of examples top with sn(K) < g4 (K). 1. Introduction Several questions in 4{dimensional topology simplify considerably after con- nected summing with sufficiently many copies of S2 S2. For instance, Wall showed that homotopy equivalent, simply-connected smooth× 4{manifolds become diffeo- morphic after enough such stabilizations [Wal64]. While other striking illustrations of this phenomenon can be found in [FK78, Qui83, Boh02, AKMR15, JZ18], this paper focuses on embeddings of disks in stabilized 4{manifolds. A link L S3 is stably slice if there exists n 0 such that the components of L bound a⊂ collection of disjoint locally flat nullhomologous≥ disks in the mani- fold D4# nS2 S2: The stabilizing number of a stably slice link is defined as × sn(L) := min n L is slice in D4# nS2 S2 : f j × g Stably slice links have been characterized by Schneiderman [Sch10, Theorem 1, Corollary 2]. We recall this characterization in Theorem 2.9, but note that a knot K is stably slice if and only if Arf(K) = 0 [COT03].

  • The Arf and Sato Link Concordance Invariants
    transactions of the american mathematical society Volume 322, Number 2, December 1990 THE ARF AND SATO LINK CONCORDANCE INVARIANTS RACHEL STURM BEISS Abstract. The Kervaire-Arf invariant is a Z/2 valued concordance invari- ant of knots and proper links. The ß invariant (or Sato's invariant) is a Z valued concordance invariant of two component links of linking number zero discovered by J. Levine and studied by Sato, Cochran, and Daniel Ruberman. Cochran has found a sequence of invariants {/?,} associated with a two com- ponent link of linking number zero where each ßi is a Z valued concordance invariant and ß0 = ß . In this paper we demonstrate a formula for the Arf invariant of a two component link L = X U Y of linking number zero in terms of the ß invariant of the link: arf(X U Y) = arf(X) + arf(Y) + ß(X U Y) (mod 2). This leads to the result that the Arf invariant of a link of linking number zero is independent of the orientation of the link's components. We then estab- lish a formula for \ß\ in terms of the link's Alexander polynomial A(x, y) = (x- \)(y-\)f(x,y): \ß(L)\ = \f(\, 1)|. Finally we find a relationship between the ß{ invariants and linking numbers of lifts of X and y in a Z/2 cover of the compliment of X u Y . 1. Introduction The Kervaire-Arf invariant [KM, R] is a Z/2 valued concordance invariant of knots and proper links. The ß invariant (or Sato's invariant) is a Z valued concordance invariant of two component links of linking number zero discov- ered by Levine (unpublished) and studied by Sato [S], Cochran [C], and Daniel Ruberman.

  • Loop Polynomial of Knots
    Geometry & Topology 11 (2007) 1357–1475 1357 On the 2–loop polynomial of knots TOMOTADA OHTSUKI The 2–loop polynomial of a knot is a polynomial characterizing the 2–loop part of the Kontsevich invariant of the knot. An aim of this paper is to give a methodology to calculate the 2–loop polynomial. We introduce Gaussian diagrams to calculate the rational version of the Aarhus integral explicitly, which constructs the 2–loop polynomial, and we develop methodology of calculating Gaussian diagrams showing many basic formulas of them. As a consequence, we obtain an explicit presentation of the 2–loop polynomial for knots of genus 1 in terms of derivatives of the Jones polynomial of the knots. Corresponding to quantum and related invariants of 3–manifolds, we can formulate equivariant invariants of the infinite cyclic covers of knots complements. Among such equivariant invariants, we can regard the 2–loop polynomial of a knot as an “equivariant Casson invariant” of the infinite cyclic cover of the knot complement. As an aspect of an equivariant Casson invariant, we show that the 2–loop polynomial of a knot is presented by using finite type invariants of degree 3 of a spine of a Ä Seifert surface of the knot. By calculating this presentation concretely, we show that the degree of the 2–loop polynomial of a knot is bounded by twice the genus of the knot. This estimate of genus is effective, in particular, for knots with trivial Alexander polynomial, such as the Kinoshita–Terasaka knot and the Conway knot. 57M27; 57M25 Dedicated to Professor Yukio Matsumoto on the occasion of his 60th birthday 1 Introduction The Kontsevich invariant is a very strong invariant of knots, which dominates all quantum invariants and all Vassiliev invariants, and it is expected that the Kontsevich invariant classifies knots.

  • The Kontsevich Integral
    THE KONTSEVICH INTEGRAL S. CHMUTOV, S. DUZHIN 1. Introduction The Kontsevich integral was invented by M. Kontsevich [11] as a tool to prove the fundamental theorem of the theory of finite type (Vassiliev) invariants (see [1, 3]). It provides an invariant exactly as strong as the totality of all Vassiliev knot invariants. The Kontsevich integral is defined for oriented tangles (either framed or unframed) in R3, therefore it is also defined in the particular cases of knots, links and braids. A tangle A braid A link A knot As a starter, we give two examples where simple versions of the Kontsevich in- tegral have a straightforward geometrical meaning. In these examples, as well as in the general construction of the Kontsevich integral, we represent 3-space R3 as the product of a real line R with coordinate t and a complex plane C with complex coordinate z. Example 1. The number of twists in a braid with two strings z1(t) and z2(t) placed in the slice 0 ≤ t ≤ 1 is equal to 1 1 dz − dz z (t) z2 (t) 1 2 . 1 2πi Z0 z1 − z2 Example 2. The linking number of two spatial curves K and K′ can be computed as ′ ′ 1 d(zj(t) − zj(t)) lk(K,K )= εj , 2πi Z z (t) − z′ (t) m<t<M Xj j j where m and M are the minimum and the maximum values of zj (t) zj' (t) t on the link K ∪ K′, j is the index that enumerates all possible ′ choices of a pair of strands of the link as functions zj(t), zj(t) ′ corresponding to K and K , respectively, and εj = ±1 according to the parity of the number of chosen strands that are oriented downwards.

  • The Alexander Polynomial and Finite Type 3-Manifold Invariants 3
    THE ALEXANDER POLYNOMIAL AND FINITE TYPE 3-MANIFOLD INVARIANTS STAVROS GAROUFALIDIS AND NATHAN HABEGGER Abstract. Using elementary counting methods, we calculate the universal perturbative invariant (also known as the LMO invariant) of a 3-manifold M, satisfying H1(M, Z)= Z, in terms of the Alexander polynomial of M. We show that +1 surgery on a knot in the 3-sphere induces an injective map from finite type invariants of integral homology 3-spheres to finite type invariants of knots. We also show that weight systems of degree 2m on knots, obtained by applying finite type 3m invariants of integral homology 3-spheres, lie in the algebra of Alexander-Conway weight systems, thus answering the questions raised in [Ga].

In their fundamental paper, T.T.Q. Le, J. Murakami and T. Ohtsuki [LMO] constructed a map ZLMO which associates to every oriented 3-manifold an element of the graded (completed) Hopf algebra A(∅) of trivalent graphs.1 The restriction of this map to the set of oriented integral homology 3-spheres was shown in [Le1] to be the universal finite type invariant of integral homology 3-spheres (i.e., it classifies such invariants). Thus ZLMO is a rich (though not fully understood) invariant of integral homology 3-spheres.

  • UNKNOTTING NUMBER of a KNOT 1. Introduction an H(2)
    H(2)-UNKNOTTING NUMBER OF A KNOT TAIZO KANENOBU AND YASUYUKI MIYAZAWA Abstract. An H(2)-move is a local move of a knot which is performed by adding a half-twisted band. It is known an H(2)-move is an unknot- ting operation. We define the H(2)-unknottiing number of a knot K to be the minimum number of H(2)-moves needed to transform K into a trivial knot. We give several methods to estimate the H(2)-unknottiing number of a knot. Then we give tables of H(2)-unknottiing numbers of knots with up to 9 crossings. 1. Introduction An H(2)-move is a change in a knot projection as shown in Fig. 1(a); note that both diagrams are taken to represent single component knots, and so the strings are connected as shown in dotted arcs. Since we obtain the diagram by adding a twisted band to each of these knots as shown in Fig. 1(b), it can be said that each of the knots is obtained from the other by adding a twisted band. It is easy to see that an H(2)-move is an unknotting operation; see [9, Theorem 1]. We call the minimum number of H(2)-moves needed to transform a knot K into another knot K0 the H(2)-Gordian distance from 0 0 K to K , denoted by d2(K, K ). In particular, the H(2)-unknottiing number of K is the H(2)-Gordian distance from K to a trivial knot, denoted by u2(K).
