We study a theory of finite type invariants for nullhomologous knots in rational homology
–spheres
with respect to null Lagrangian-preserving surgeries. It is an analogue in the setting of the
rational homology of the Garoufalidis–Rozansky theory for knots in integral homology
–spheres.
We give a partial combinatorial description of the graded space
associated with our theory and determine some cases when this
description is complete. For nullhomologous knots in rational homology
–spheres
with a trivial Alexander polynomial, we show that the Kricker lift of the Kontsevich
integral and the Lescop equivariant invariant built from integrals in configuration
spaces are universal finite type invariants for this theory; in particular, this implies
that they are equivalent for such knots.
