Analytic Invariants of Boundary Links
نویسنده
چکیده
Using basic topology and linear algebra, we define a plethora of invariants of boundary links whose values are power series with noncommuting variables. These turn out to be useful and elementary reformulations of an invariant originally defined by M. Farber [Fa2].

Link Concordance, Boundary Link Concordance and Eta-invariants
We study the eta-invariants of links and show that in many cases they form link concordance invariants, in particular that many eta-invariants vanish for slice links. This result contains and generalizes previous invariants by Smolinsky and Cha–Ko. We give a formula for the eta-invariant for boundary links. In several intersting cases this allows us to show that a given link is not slice. We sh...
متن کاملSignatures of Covering Links
Abstract. The theory of signature invariants of links in rational homology spheres is applied to covering links of homology boundary links. From patterns and Seifert matrices of homology boundary links, an explicit formula is derived to compute signature invariants of their covering links. Using the formula, we produce fused boundary links that are positive mutants of ribbon links but are not c...
متن کاملFinite Type Invariants , the Mapping Class Group and Blinks
Motivated by the lower central series of three important subgroups of the mapping class group, and by the recent ideas of p-branes in string theory, we introduce a notion of blinks and BL-type invariants of oriented integral homology 3-spheres. In the rst part of the paper we show that the ltrations (on the vector space generated by oriented integral homology 3-spheres) coming from these subgro...
متن کاملAN ALGEBRAIC LINK CONCORDANCE GROUP FOR (p,2p-l)-LINKS IN S?* by PAT GILMER and CHARLES LIVINGSTON
A concordance classification of links of S"US" cS, p>\, is given in terms of an algebraically defined group, ±, which is closely related to Levine's algebraic knot concordance group. For p=l, _ captures certain obstructions to two component links in S being concordant to boundary links, the generalized Sato-Levine invariants defined by Cochran. As a result, purely algebraic proofs of prop...
متن کاملUniversal Vassiliev invariants of links in coverings of 3-manifolds
We study Vassiliev invariants of links in a 3-manifold M by using chord diagrams labeled by elements of the fundamental group of M . We construct universal Vassiliev invariants of links in M , where M = P 2×[0, 1] is a cylinder over the real projective plane P 2, M = Σ× [0, 1] is a cylinder over a surface Σ with boundary, and M = S1 × S2. A finite covering p : N −→ M induces a map π1(p) ∗ betwe...
