A Kontsevich integral of order $1$

Abstract

We define a $1$ –cocycle in the space of long knots that is a natural generalization of the Kontsevich integral seen as a $0$ –cocycle. It involves a $2$ –form that generalizes the Knizhnik–Zamolodchikov connection. We show that the well-known close relationship between the Kontsevich integral and Vassiliev invariants (via the algebra of chord diagrams and $1$ T– $4$ T relations) is preserved between our integral and Vassiliev $1$ –cocycles, via a change of variable similar to the one that led Birman–Lin to discover the $4$ T relations. We explain how this construction is related to Cirio and Faria Martins’ categorification of the Knizhnik–Zamolodchikov connection.
