Abstract

We construct combinatorial formulas of Fiedler type (i.e. composed of oriented Gauss diagrams arranged by homotopy classes of loops in the base manifold, see [T. Fiedler, Gauss Diagram Invariants for Knots and Links, Math. Appl., vol. 552, Kluwer Academic Publishers, 2001; M. Polyak, O. Viro, Gauss diagram formulas for Vassiliev invariants, Int. Math. Res. Not. 11 (1994) 445–453]) for an infinite family of finite type invariants of knots in M2×R1 (M2 orientable), introduced in [S.A. Grishanov, V.A. Vassiliev, Two constructions of weight systems for invariants of knots in non-trivial 3-manifolds, Topology Appl. 155 (2008) 1757–1765].
