Renormalizations of the Kontsevich integral and their behavior under band sum moves.
Doctor of Philosophy === Department of Mathematics === David Yetter === We generalize the definition of the framed Kontsevich integral initially presented in [LM1]. We study the behavior of the renormalized framed Kontsevich integral Z[hat]_f under band sum moves and show that it can be further reno...
