A Diagrammatic method for an invariant related to the Chern-Simons perturbation theory
Abstract
The defect d(M,) is an invariant of a compact oriented 3-manifold M with a representation of the fundamental group. In this article we give a diagrammatic method for d of knot exteriors by using knot diagrams.
