In this paper, we compute the Blanchfield pairing of a colored link with non-zero Alexander polynomial. More precisely, we show that the Blanchfield pairing of such a link can be written in terms of generalized Seifert matrices which arise from the use of C-complexes.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-09-26T16:37:27.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "57M25" ], "keywords": [ "blanchfield pairing", "colored link", "non-zero alexander polynomial", "generalized seifert matrices", "c-complexes" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 24, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
