Following the works of Bar-Natan, Bott and Taubes, Altschuler and Freidel, we know how to use the uni-trivalent graphs and their configuration space integrals to get the beautiful and natural Universal Vassiliev knot
invariant in the infinite dimensional algebra of
chord diagram ( or uni-trivalent grapgs ). But, there still have some defect. A correction term coming from the integrals over the space of totally concentrated uni-trivalent graphs should be considered; this is called the anomaly
of the perturbative Chern-Simons theory.
We believe the anomaly being equal to zero.
We show that, under a vanishing conjecture of the graph homology theory, the anomaly is zero.
We shall mention the case of oreder 3 in details. For the case of order 5, the vanishing conjecture can be checked directly.
