摘要
We study the relationship between trivial cocycles on the Torelli group and invariants of oriented integral homology 3-spheres. We apply this study to give a new purely algebraic construction of the Casson invariant. As a by-product we get a new 2-torsion cohomology class in the second integral cohomology of the Torelli group. (c) 2008 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
