A geometric construction of the Conway potential function

David Cimasoni

Published 2004-06-09Version 1

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.
