The main topic of this work is the theory of finite type invariants of homology 3-spheres, developed by Ohtsuki, Le, Garoufalidis, Goussarov, Habiro and others. In a first part, the variation of a degree 2n invariant after surgery along a surface with respect to an element of the 2n-th term of the lower central series of the Torelli group is studied. For a commutator of 2n elements of the Torelli group, this variation is expressed in terms of the Johnson homomorphism of the 2n elements and of the weight system of the invariant.The clasper calculus of Goussarov and Habiro gives topological equivalences between surgeries on embedded handlebodies in 3-manifolds. This calculus has already been crucial in order to describe the behaviour of the f...
