3 Introduction Background History of LMO. Kontsevich [Kon93] constructed the Kontsevich invariant Z K of (unframed) oriented links in S 3, which was extended to an invariant of (framed) q-tangles. Z K (unknot) = 24 (deg 3) A( )/FI. 2. Using Z K, Le, Murakami and Ohtsuki [LMO98] introduced the LMO invariant of connected, oriented, closed 3-manifolds. Z LMO (L(p, )) = p 2 (p )(p 2) 24p A( ). Y.

4 Introduction Background 3. Cheptea, Habiro and Massuyeau [CHM08] constructed the LMO functor (defined on a certain category of cobordisms) by using formal Gaussian integrals. log Z(ψ, ) = (i-deg > 2), where ψ, :=. M: a QHS M \ Int[, ] 3 is regarded as a cobordism between disks [, ] 2 and [, ] 2 ( ). Then Z LMO (M) = Z(M \ Int[, ] 3 ). Y.

5 Introduction Background What kind of extension? Roughly speaking, the objects and morphisms of the domain are extended as follows: Σ g, Σ g,n (n 0) and. Namely, we allow a cobordim to have vertical tubes. log Z(ψ, ) = (i-deg > 2). 0 Y. Nozaki (The Univ. of Tokyo) Ext. of the LMO functor & Milnor inv s October 27, / 3
6 Introduction Background Remarks Convention Notation and terminology are almost the same as in [CHM08], but their definitions are extended. The main differences will be emphasized in red (e.g. Σ g,n ). Remark Related researches are found in [ABMP0], [Kat4]. (References are listed at the end.) Y.

7 Introduction Aim of today s talk More precisely, the LMO functor is defined as a tensor-preserving functor Z : LCob q ts A between the monoidal categories [CHM08]. Z has important properties: Z(M) = exp (Lk(M)/2) Z Y (M) for M = (M, σ, m). Z is universal among rational-valued finite-type invariants of certain 3-manifolds. Z is related with Milnor invariants of string links. Aim of today s talk Construct an extension of Z with the above properties. Y.

(M, σ, m) (N, τ, n) := (horizontal juxtaposition of M and N). m ± is the restriction of m to the top/bottom of the surface R w w,σ. For a technical reason, we only consider Lagrangian cobordisms that satisfy almost the same homological conditions as in [CHM08]. The strict monoidal subcategory LCob. Y.

12 Definitions and results Domain and codomain of Z Bottom-top tangles Translating cobordisms into bottom-top tangles is necessary to define Z.

19 Definitions and results Main result Before stating the main result... Remark The Kontsevich invariant of tangles depends on a parenthesizing of their boundaries. (In other words, it depends on the choice of an associator.) Therefore, we have to refine as follows. until now from now on Mon(, ) Mag(, ) Cob Cob q LCob LCob q There is a canonical surjection Mon(, ) forget Mag(, ), e.g., ( ( )). Y.

26 Relation with Milnor invariants of string links Result and example of calculation Previous studies and our extension. Habegger and Masbaum [HM00] proved that the first non-vanishing Milnor invariant of ([, ] 3, σ) is determined by the first non-trivial term of (χ π 0 (σ) Z K (σ)) Y,t, and vice versa. 2. Moffatt [Mof06] showed that the same holds for (χ π 0 (σ) Z K-LMO (B, σ)) Y,t. 3. The same is true for Z Y,t (MJ (B, σ)) [CHM08]. Let R w : A(X, g g n 0 ) = A(X, l ) be a color-replacement map for w Mag(, ). Theorem (N. 5) Y,t If (B, σ) S l [k], then Z <k (MJ w (B, σ)) = Rw Y,t Conversely, if Z <k (MJ w (B, σ)) is written as x (i-deg x = k ), then µ A k (B, σ) = R w(x). (µ A k (B, σ)). Y.
