چکیده
We determine for which complex numbers on the unit circle the Levine-Tristram signature and the nullity give rise to link concordance invariants. 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification: primary: 57M25, secondary: 57M27, 57N70

Spectrum of plane curves via knot theory
In this paper, we use topological methods to study various semicontinuity properties of the local spectrum of singular points of algebraic plane curves and spectrum at infinity of polynomial maps in two variables. Using the Seifert form, the Tristram–Levine signatures of links, and the associated Murasugi-type inequalities, we reprove (in a slightly weaker form) a result obtained by Steenbrink ...
متن کاملA Geometric Filtration of Links modulo Knots: I. Questions of Nilpotence
For each k = 0, 1, 2, . . . we define an equivalence relation called k-quasi-isotopy on the set of classical links in R3 up to isotopy in the sense of Milnor (1957), such that all sufficiently close approximations of a topological link are k-quasi-isotopic. Whereas 0-quasi-isotopy coincides with link homotopy, 1-quasi-isotopy is not implied by concordance, with aid of the generalized (lk 6= 0) ...
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 کاملKnot Mutation: 4–genus of Knots and Algebraic Concordance
Kearton observed that mutation can change the concordance class of a knot. A close examination of his example reveals that it is of 4–genus 1 and has a mutant of 4–genus 0. The first goal of this paper is to construct examples to show that for any pair of nonnegative integers m and n there is a knot of 4–genus m with a mutant of 4–genus n. A second result of this paper is a crossing change form...
متن کاملStable Concordance of Knots in 3–manifolds
Knots and links in 3-manifolds are studied by applying intersection invariants to singular concordances. The resulting link invariants generalize the Arf invariant, the mod 2 Sato-Levine invariants, and Milnor’s triple linking numbers. Besides fitting into a general theory of Whitney towers, these invariants provide obstructions to the existence of a singular concordance which can be homotoped ...
