    The universal \(sl_2\) invariant and Milnor invariants (English)
    0 references
    In the paper under review, the authors find explicit relations between the universal \(sl_2\) invariant of string links and Milnor invariants. The authors define a reduction of the universal \(sl_2\) invariant and show how it is controlled by Milnor concordance invariants. A stronger reduction is shown to correspond to Milnor link homotopy invariants. This gives explicit criteria for invariance under concordance and link homotopy and, in particular, for sliceness. The results of the paper also provide a partial construction of weight systems of the universal \(sl_2\) invariant.NEWLINENEWLINEThe authors also point out that they do not expect that the universal \(sl_2\) invariant detects Milnor invariants, in general.
