Abstract

Every homology cylinder is obtained from Jacobi diagrams by clasper surgery. The surgery map s ⁣:AncYnICg,1/Yn+1\mathfrak{s} \colon \mathcal{A}_n^c \to Y_n\mathcal{IC}_{g,1}/Y_{n+1} is surjective for n2n \geq 2, and its kernel is closely related to the symmetry of Jacobi diagrams. We determine the kernel of s\mathfrak{s} restricted to the 1-loop part after taking a certain quotient of the target. Also, we introduce refined versions of the AS and STU relations among claspers and study the abelian group YnICg,1/Yn+2Y_n\mathcal{IC}_{g,1}/Y_{n+2} for n2n \geq 2.
