On the Conway potential function introduced by Kauffman

We show two results about the Conway potential function which is known as the normalized multivariable Alexander polynomial. We first show that the Conway potential function introduced by Kauffman in "Formal Knot Theory" is indeed a link invariant. Next we show that Kauffman's potential function equals Hartley's potential function. We will prove it by using Murakami's axioms for the multivariable Alexander polynomial.

Conway's potential function via the Gassner representation

We show how Conway's multivariable potential function can be constructed using braids and the reduced Gassner representation. The resulting formula is a multivariable generalization of a construction, due to Kassel-Turaev, of the Alexander-Conway polynomial in terms of the Burau representation. Apart from providing an efficient method of computing the potential function, our result also removes the sign ambiguity in the current formulas which relate the multivariable Alexander polynomial to the reduced Gassner representation. We also relate the distinct definitions of this representation which…

A geometric construction of the Conway potential function

We give a geometric construction of the multivariable Conway potential function for colored links. In the case of a single color, it is Kauffman's definition of the Conway polynomial in terms of a Seifert matrix.

The Conway potential function of a graph link

We give a closed formula for the multivariable Conway potential function of any graph link in a homology sphere. As corollaries, we answer three questions by Walter Neumann about graph links.

Quantum Relatives of Alexander Polynomial

The multivariable Conway function is generalized to oriented framed trivalent graphs equipped with additional structure (coloring). This is done via refinements of Reshetikhin-Turaev functors based on irreducible representations of quantized gl(1|1) and sl(2). The corresponding face state sum models for the generalized Conway function are presented.

Moves relating C-complexes: A correction to Cimasoni's "A geometric construction of the Conway potential function"

In groundbreaking work from 2004, Cimasoni gave a geometric computation of the multivariable Conway potential function in terms of a generalization of a Seifert surface for a link called a C-complex. Lemma 3 of that paper provides a family of moves which relates any two C-complexes for a fixed link. This allows for an approach to studying links from the point of view of C-complexes and in following papers it has been used to derive invariants. This lemma is false. We present counterexamples, a correction with detailed proof, and an analysis of the consequences of this error on subsequent works…

The Weight System of the Multivariable Alexander Polynomial

We derive a formula for the weight system of the multivariable Alexander polynomial using determinants, show that it obeys known relations, and satisfies some of the same relations as the single variable polynomial.
