THE WEIGHT SYSTEM OF THE MULTIVARIABLE ALEXANDER POLYNOMIAL

JANA ARCHIBALD

pp. 459-470

Abstract

We derive a formula for the weight system of the multivariable Alexander polynomial using determinants, show that it obeys known relations, and satisfies some of the same relations as the single variable polynomial. This formula will be computable in polynomial time.
