Abstract

We introduce a new series RkR_k, k=2,3,4,k=2,3,4,\dots, of integer valued weight systems. The value of the weight system RkR_k on a chord diagram is a signed number of cycles of even length 2k2k in the intersection graph of the diagram. We show that this value depends on the intersection graph only. We check that for small orders of the diagrams, the value of the weight system RkR_k on a diagram of order exactly 2k2k coincides with the coefficient of ckc^k in the value of the sl2\mathfrak{sl}_2-weight system on the projection of the diagram to primitive elements.
