Abstract |
|
Suppose L is a classical oriented link in S3. We define an isotopy invariant of L, QL(x,y,z), which is a homogeneous Laurent polynomial of degree zero. The Conway polynomial ∇L(z) and the Jones polynomial V L(t) are special cases of Q. Some basic properties of Q are given along with several examples. |
