Cn-moves and polynomial invariants for links
by
Haruko A. Miyazawa
Tsuda College

In 1993 K. Habiro defined a new local move called a Cn-move. It is known that this local move is closely related to Vassiliev invariants, that is, if oriented links L and L' are transformed into each other by Cn-moves, then they have the same value of any Vassiliev invariant of order less than n. In this talk we study the difference of some Vassiliev invariants of order n for two links L and L' which are transformed into each other by a single Cn-move.
