Milnor numbers, Spanning Trees, and the Alexander-Conway Polynomial
Gregor Masbaum, Arkady Vaintrob
We study relations between the Alexander-Conway polynomial and Milnor higher linking numbers of links from the point of view of finite-type (Vassiliev) invariants. We gi…

Noncommutative Rational Functions and Farber's Invariants of Boundary Links
Vladimir Retakh, Christophe Reutenauer, Arkady Vaintrob
In [2] M. Farber constructed invariants of m-component boundary links with values in algebra of noncommutative rational functions. In this paper we simplify his constructions and e…
