Abstract
Kricker constructed a knot invariant valued in a space of Feynman diagrams with beads. When composed with the “hair” map , it gives the Kontsevich integral of the knot. We introduce a new grading on diagrams with beads and use it to show that a nontrivial element constructed from Vogel’s zero divisor in the algebra is in the kernel of . This shows that is not injective.
