Abstract:
It has long been known that a Milnor invariant with no repeated index is an invariant of link homotopy. We show that Milnor's invariants with repeated indices are invariants not only of isotopy, but also of self  -equivalence. Here self  -equivalence is a natural generalization of link homotopy based on certain degree  clasper surgeries, which provides a filtration of link homotopy classes.
