A state-sum formula for the Alexander polynomial
Black, Samson
Original · EN
We develop a diagrammatic formalism for calculating the Alexander polynomial of the closure of a braid as a state-sum. Our main tools are the Markov trace formulas for the HOMFLY-PT polynomial and Young's semi-normal representations of the Iwahori-Hecke algebras of type A.
