An invariant of rational homology 3-spheres via vector fields
We define an invariant of rational homology 3-spheres via vector fields. The
construction of our invariant is a generalization of both that of the
Kontsevich-Kuperberg-Thurston invariant and that of Watanabe's Morse homotopy
invariant, which implies the equivalence of these two invariants.Comment: 27 page
