The Blanchfield pairing of colored links
Anthony Conway, Stefan Friedl, Enrico Toffoli
It is well known that the Blanchfield pairing of a knot can be expressed using Seifert matrices. In this paper, we compute the Blanchfield pairing of a colored link with non-zero A…
-Burau maps and -Alexander torsions
Fathi Ben Aribi, Anthony Conway
It is well known that the Burau representation of the braid group can be used to recover the Alexander polynomial of the closure of a braid. We define -Burau maps and use them…
A Burau-Alexander 2-functor on tangles
David Cimasoni, Anthony Conway
We construct a weak 2-functor from the bicategory of oriented tangles to a bicategory of Lagrangian cospans. This functor simultaneously extends the Burau representation of the bra…
Splitting numbers and signatures
David Cimasoni, Anthony Conway, Kleopatra Zacharova
The splitting number of a link is the minimal number of crossing changes between different components required to convert it into a split link. We obtain a lower bound on the split…
