For each sequence P = (p1(t), p2(t), . . . ) of polynomials we define a characteristic series of groups, called the derived series localized at P. Given a knot K in S, such a sequence of polynomials arises naturally as the orders of certain submodules of a sequence of higher-order Alexander modules of K. These group series yield filtrations of the knot concordance group that refine the (n)-solv...
