Calculus of clovers and finite type invariants of 3-manifolds
From MaRDI portal
Publication:1428366
Abstract: A clover is a framed trivalent graph with some additional structure, embedded in a 3-manifold. We define surgery on clovers, generalizing surgery on Y-graphs used earlier by the second author to define a new theory of finite-type invariants of 3--manifolds. We give a systematic exposition of a topological calculus of clovers and use it to deduce some important results about the corresponding theory of finite type invariants. In particular, we give a description of the weight systems in terms of uni-trivalent graphs modulo the AS and IHX relations, reminiscent of the similar results for links. We then compare several definitions of finite type invariants of homology spheres (based on surgery on Y--graphs, blinks, algebraically split links, and boundary links) and prove in a self-contained way their equivalence.
