48 results for Tristram-Levine signatures

We study properties of the signature function of the torus knot Tp,qT_{p,q}. First we provide a very elementary proof of the formula for the integral of the signatures over the circle. We obtain also a closed formula for the Tristram--Levine signature of a torus knot in terms of Dedekind sums.

We compute the average Tristram---Levine signature of any graph link with positive weights in a three sphere, generalizing the results of Kirby and Melvin. The main tools are the Neumann's algorithm for computing the equivariant signatures of graph links and the Reciprocity Law for Dedekind sums.

To each unit complex number with positive imaginary part there is defined a Tristram-Levine knot signature function. The set of all such signature functions is linearly independent as a set of functions defined on the set of all knots. The set of averaged signature functions forms a linearly independent set of homomoro…

Rotors were introduced in Graph Theory by W.Tutte. The concept was adapted to Knot Theory as a generalization of mutation by Anstee, Przytycki and Rolfsen in 1987. In this paper we show that Tristram-Levine signature is preserved by orientation-preserving rotations. Moreover, we show that any link invariant obtained fr…

We use topological methods to study various semicontinuity properties of spectra of singular points of plane algebraic curves and of polynomials in two variables at infinity. Using Seifert forms and the Tristram--Levine signatures of links, we reprove (in a slightly weaker version) a result obtained by Steenbrink and V…

Based on some analogies with the Hodge theory of isolated hypersurface singularities, we define Hodge-type numerical invariants (called H-numbers) of any, not necessarily algebraic, link in S3S^3. They contain the same information as the (normalized) real Seifert matrix. We study their basic properties, we express the …
