Abstract

We apply Lescop's construction of Z\mathbb{Z}-equivariant perturbative invariant of knots and 3-manifolds to the explicit equivariant propagator of "AL-paths" given in arXiv:1403.8030. We obtain an invariant Z^n\hat{Z}_n of certain equivalence classes of fiberwise Morse functions on a 3-manifold fibered over S1S^1, which can be considered as a higher loop analogue of the Lefschetz zeta function and whose construction will be applied to that of finite type invariants of knots in such a 3-manifold. We also give a combinatorial formula for Lescop's equivariant invariant Q\mathscr{Q} for 3-manifolds with H1=ZH_1=\mathbb{Z} fibered over S1S^1. Moreover, surgery formulas of Z^n\hat{Z}_n and Q\mathscr{Q} for alternating sums of surgeries are given. This gives another proof of Lescop's surgery formula of Q\mathscr{Q} for special kind of 3-manifolds and surgeries, which is simple in the sense that the formula is obtained easily by counting certain graphs in a 3-manifold.
