نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a new invariant, calledslope, of colored link in an integral homology sphere and use this invariant to complete the signature formula for splice two links. develop number ways computing slope few vanishing results. Besides, we discuss concordance invariance establish its close relation Conway polynomials, on one hand, Kojima–Yamasakiη\eta-function (in univariate case) Cochran invariants, other hand.

Computing boundary slopes of 2-bridge links
We describe an algorithm for computing boundary slopes of 2-bridge links. As an example, we work out the slopes of the links obtained by 1/k surgery on one component of the Borromean rings. A table of all boundary slopes of all 2-bridge links with 10 or less crossings is also included.
متن کاملSignature of Links
Let L be an oriented tame link in the three sphere S3. We study the Murasugi signature, o(L), and the nullity, tj(L). It is shown that o(L) is a locally flat topological concordance invariant and that tj(L) is a topological concordance invariant (no local flatness assumption here). Known results about the signature are re-proved (in some cases generalized) using branched coverings. 0. Introduct...
متن کاملSlopes and Colored Jones Polynomials of Adequate Links
Garoufalidis conjectured a relation between the boundary slopes of a knot and its colored Jones polynomials. More precisely, certain boundary slopes are detected by the sequence of degrees of the colored Jones polynomials. We verify this conjecture for adequate knots, a class that vastly generalizes that of alternating knots.
متن کاملBoundary Slopes of 2-Bridge Links Determine the Crossing Number
A diagonal surface in a link exterior M is a properly embedded, incompressible, boundary incompressible surface which furthermore has the same number of boundary components and same slope on each component of ∂M . We derive a formula for the boundary slope of a diagonal surface in the exterior of a 2-bridge link which is analogous to the formula for the boundary slope of a 2-bridge knot found b...
متن کاملAlmost Positive Links Have Negative Signature
We analyze properties of links which have diagrams with a small number of negative crossings. We show that if a nontrivial link has a diagram with all crossings positive except possibly one, then the signature of the link is negative. If a link diagram has two negative crossings, we show that the signature of the link is nonpositive with the exception of the left-handed Hopf link (with possible...
