Some comments:

(1) The first one to write down the Vassiliev invariants of order 2 and 3 in terms of chord diagrams was Lannes:

Lannes, Jean Sur les invariants de Vassiliev de degré inférieur ou égal à $3$. Enseign. Math. (2) 39 (1993), no. 3-4, 295--316.

(2) Who is Turaeva? Could it be that it is in fact Svetlana Tyurina? E.g. http://arxiv.org/abs/math/9905162  ?

(3) Is there a reference for the fact that the work of Polyak and Viro is wrong? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.190.2.132 (talk) 18:14, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
