Abstract

We give a framework to normalize a regular isotopy invariant of a spatial graph, and introduce many normalizations satisfying the same relation under a local move. We normalize the Yamada polynomial for spatial embeddings of almost all trivalent graphs without a bridge, and see the benefit to utilize our normalizations from the viewpoint of skein relations, the finite type invariants, and evaluations of the Yamada polynomial. We show that the collection of the differences between two of our normalizations is a complete spatial-graph-homology invariant.
