The Burau matrix and Fiedler's invariant for a closed braid

H. R. Morton

Published 1998-01-08Version 1

It is shown how Fiedler's `small state-sum' invariant for a braid can be calculated from the 2-variable Alexander polynomial of the link which consists of the closed braid together with the braid axis.
