dc.description.abstractWe define an infinite sequence of invariants $\bar\mu\sb{K}$ of connected, finite graphs K. These invariants detect whether or not a "longitude" associated to a cycle in K lies in the $n\sp{th}$ term of the lower central series of $\pi\sb1(S\sp3-K,p)$. In certain cases, these invariants can be compared to Milnor's $\bar\mu$-invariants associated to links contained in K, and are found to be more discriminating.en_US
