Abstract

In this paper we introduce two theories of finite type invariants for framed links with a fixed linking matrix. We show that these theories are different from, but related to, the theory of Vassiliev invariants of knots and links. We will take special note of the case of zero linking matrix. i.e., zero-framed algebraically split links. We also study the corresponding spaces of "chord diagrams".
