Abstract: Let Mreg be the topological moduli space of long knots up to regular isotopy, and for any natural number n>1 let Mnreg be the moduli space of all n-cables of framed long knots which are twisted by a string link to a knot in the solid torus V3 . We upgrade the Vassiliev invariant v2 of a knot to an integer valued combinatorial 1-cocycle for Mnreg by a very simple formula. This 1-cocycle depends on a natural number ainmathbbZcongH1(V3;mathbbZ) with 0<a<n as a parameter and we obtain a polynomial-valued 1-cocycle by taking the Lagrange interpolation polynomial with respect to the parameter. We show that it induces a non-trivial pairing on H0(Mnreg)imesH0(Mreg) already for n=2.
