Splitting the spectral flow and the SU(3) Casson invariant for spliced sums
Hans U. Boden, Benjamin Himpel
We show that the SU(3) Casson invariant for spliced sums along certain torus knots equals 16 times the product of their SU(2) Casson knot invariants. The key step is a splitting fo…

Metabelian SL(n,C) representations of knot groups
Hans U. Boden, Stefan Friedl
We give a classification of irreducible metabelian representations from a knot group into SL(n,C) and GL(n,C). If the homology of the n-fold branched cover of the knot is finite, w…
