Twisted Alexander Polynomial of Links in the Projective Space
We use Reidemeister torsion to study a twisted Alexander polynomial, as defined by Turaev, for links in the projective space. Using sign-refined torsion we derive a skein relation for a normalized form of this polynomial.
متن کاملUnknotting Tunnels and Seifert Surfaces
Let K be a knot with an unknotting tunnel γ and suppose that K is not a 2-bridge knot. There is an invariant ρ = p/q ∈ Q/2Z, p odd, defined for the pair (K, γ). The invariant ρ has interesting geometric properties: It is often straightforward to calculate; e. g. for K a torus knot and γ an annulus-spanning arc, ρ(K, γ) = 1. Although ρ is defined abstractly, it is naturally revealed when K ∪ γ i...
متن کاملOn the Links-gould Invariant and the Square of the Alexander Polynomial
This paper gives a connection between well chosen reductions of the LinksGould invariants of oriented links and powers of the Alexander-Conway polynomial. We prove these formulas by showing the representations of the braid groups we derive the specialized Links-Gould polynomials from can be seen as exterior powers of copies of Burau representations.
متن کاملAlexander Groups and Virtual Links
The extended Alexander group of an oriented virtual link l of d components is defined. From its abelianization a sequence of polynomial invariants ∆i(u1, . . . , ud, v), i = 0, 1, . . . , is obtained. When l is a classical link, ∆i reduces to the well-known ith Alexander polynomial of the link in the d variables u1v, . . . , udv; in particular, ∆0 vanishes.
