Statements
The authors study the relation between the degrees of the Conway potential functions and the maximal Euler characteristic of all Seifert surfaces for a link. Two consequences of their work are: (a) a lower bound for the height of the Conway skein diagram; (b) characterization of doubled knots as those with genus and unknotting number equal to 1.
