Abstract: We establish several results about two short exact sequences involving lower terms of the $n$-solvable filtration, $mathcal{F}_n^m$ of the string link concordance group $mathcal{C}^m$. We utilize the Thom-Pontryagin construction to show that the Sato-Levine invariants $$ must vanish for 0.5-solvable links. Using this result, we show that the short exact sequence $0ightarrowmathcal{F}_0^m/mathcal{F}_{0.5}^{m}ightarrowmathcal{F}_{-0.5}^m/mathcal{F}_{0.5}^{m}ightarrowmathcal{F}_{-0.5}^m/mathcal{F}_0^{m}ightarrow0$ does not split for links of two or more components, in contrast to the fact that it splits for knots. Considering lower terms of the filtration $mathcal{F}_n^m$ in the short exact sequence $0ightarrowmathcal{F}_{-0.5}^m/mathcal{F}_0^{m}ightarrowmathcal{C}^m/mathcal{F}_0^{m}ightarrowmathcal{C}^m/mathcal{F}_{-0.5}^{m}ightarrow0$, we show that while the sequence does not split for $mge3$, it does indeed split for $m=2$. We conclude that the quotient $mathcal{C}^2/mathcal{F}_0^{2}congmathbb{Z}_{2}oplusmathbb{Z}_{2}oplusmathbb{Z}_{2}oplusmathbbZ$.
