The Multivariable Alexander Polynomial for a Closed Braid
In this paper I give a similar method for finding the multivariable Alexander polynomial of a link L presented as the closure of a braid β. The main ingredient is a readily constructed multivariable version of the reduced Burau matrices. Other versions of ‘coloured’ Burau matrices have been developed, for example by Penne, [4], which can be interpreted as determining linear presentations of sui...
متن کاملMultivariable Twisted Alexander Polynomial for Hyperbolic Three–manifolds with Boundary
We consider a sign–determined Reidemeister torsion with multivariables for a hyperbolic three–dimensional manifold with cusps. Using a cut and paste argument, we prove that this Reidemeister torsion is a polynomial invariant when provided with appropriate conditions on the topology of the manifold and SL2(C)representations of its fundamental group. Under such assumptions, it is proved that this...

متن کاملinvestigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures
deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
A new property of the Alexander polynomial
Alexander introduced his link invariant by a state model in 1928. We consider a slightly different state model for links in the solid torus (e.g. knots in the complement of their meridian). The result is a link invariant which coincides with the Alexander polynomial up to some normalisation. This normalisation depends not only as usual on the writhe of the link diagram but also on its Whitney i...
