Application of braiding sequences. IV: Link polynomials and geometric invariants (Q2027737)

In this paper the author applies the concept of braiding sequences to the Conway polynomial, and various results concerning positive knots are presented. These results lead to estimates of the braid index and Legendrian invariants. For Parts I--III of this work see the author [Commun. Contemp. Math. 12, No. 5, 681--726 (2010; Zbl 1211.57010), Proc.
