Milnor invariants and the HOMFLYPT polynomial

From MaRDI portal
(Redirected from Publication:441105)




Abstract: We give formulas expressing Milnor invariants of an n-component link L in the 3-sphere in terms of the HOMFLYPT polynomial as follows. If the Milnor invariant �ar{mu}_J(L) vanishes for any sequence J with length at most k, then any Milnor �ar{mu}-invariant �ar{mu}_I(L) with length between 3 and 2k+1 can be represented as a combination of HOMFLYPT polynomial of knots obtained from the link by certain band sum operations. In particular, the `first non vanishing' Milnor invariants can be always represented as such a linear combination.
