Tree diagrams for string links II: Determining chord diagrams

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

In previous work, we defined the intersection graph of a chord diagram associated with a string link (as in the theory of finite type invariants). In this paper, we look at the case when this graph is a tree, and we show that in many cases these trees determine the chord diagram (modulo the usual 1-term and 4-term relations).
