Weights of Markov traces for Alexander polynomials of mixed links
Abstract
Using the Fourier expansion of Markov traces for Ariki-Koike algebras over $\mathbb{Q}(q,u_{1},...,u_{e})$, we give a direct definition of the Alexander polynomials for mixed links. We observe that under the corresponding specialization of a Markov parameter, the Fourier coefficients of Markov traces take quite simple form. As a consequence, we show that the Alexander polynomial of a mixed link is essentially equal to the Alexander polynomial of the link obtained by resolving the twisted parts.
