| Sep 1, 2011 at 12:07 | comment | added | algori | Vassiliev's approach to finite type invariants gives invariants of individual knots (or links) from the topology of the space of all knots. This strategy generalizes to spaces of maps $M\to N$ without complicated singularities (here $M,N$ are smooth manifolds) and it works best when the set of "very singular" maps, which one wishes to discard, has codimension $\geq 2$. A very readable introduction to all this is Vassiliev's ICM 1994 talk. | |
