On surgery along Brunnian links in $3$–manifolds

Abstract

We consider surgery moves along (n + 1)–component Brunnian links in compact connected oriented 3–manifolds, where the framing of the components is in {1 k  ; k Z}. We show that no finite type invariant of degree < 2n 2 can detect such a surgery move. The case of two link-homotopic Brunnian links is also considered. We relate finite type invariants of integral homology spheres obtained by such operations to Goussarov–Vassiliev invariants of Brunnian links.
