Finite type invariants III: manifold weight systems
arXiv:q-alg/9705004
Abstract
We introduce the notion of weight system for finite type invariants of integral homology 3-spheres, and we show that invariants of type m are determined, modulo invariants of type m-1, by their associated weight system.
