Milnor-Orr invariants from the Kontsevich invariant

Abstract

As nilpotent studies in knot theory, we focus on invariants of Milnor, Orr, and Kontsevich. We show that the Orr invariant of degree $ k $ is equivalent to the tree reduction of the Kontsevich invariant of degree $< 2k $. Furthermore, we will see a close relation between the Orr invariant and the Milnor invariant, and discuss a method of computing these invariants
