Some Ihx-type Relations on Trivalent Graphs and Symplectic Representation Theory
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider two types of graded algebras (with graded actions by the symplectic Lie algebra) that arise in the study of the mapping class group, and describe their symplectic invariants in terms of algebras on trivalent graphs.

On Spaces of connected Graphs III The Ladder Filtration
A new filtration of the spaces of tri-/univalent graphs B u m that occur in the theory of finitetype invariants of knots and 3-manifolds is introduced. Combining the results of the two preceding articles, the quotients of this filtration are modeled by spaces of graphs with two types of edges and four types of vertices, and an upper bound for dimB u m in terms of the dimensions of the filtratio...

The graded algebra Λ defined by Pierre Vogel is of general interest in the theory of finite-type invariants of knots and of 3-manifolds because it acts on spaces of connected graphs subject to relations called IHX and AS. We examine a subalgebra Λ0 that is generated by certain elements called t and xn with n ≥ 3. Two families of relations in Λ0 are derived and it is shown that the dimension of ...
متن کاملTowards an Elementary Theory of Finite Type Invariants of Integral Homology Spheres
Following Ohtsuki, Garoufalidis, and Habegger we provide an elementary introduction to nite type invariants of integral homology spheres, culminating with a proof of the upper bound for the magnitude of the space I of such invariants in terms of the space A(;) of oriented trivalent graphs modulo the so-called AS and IHX relations. We raise the issue of \the fundamental theorem" for nite type in...
متن کاملWhitney towers and the Kontsevich integral
We continue to develop an obstruction theory for embedding 2–spheres into 4–manifolds in terms of Whitney towers. The proposed intersection invariants take values in certain graded abelian groups generated by labelled trivalent trees, and with relations well known from the 3–dimensional theory of finite type invariants. Surprisingly, the same exact relations arise in 4 dimensions, for example t...
