Milnor invariants of covering links

We consider Milnor invariants for certain covering links as a generalization of covering linkage invariants formulated by R. Hartley and K. Murasugi. A set of Milnor invariants for covering links is a cobordism invariant of a link, and that this invariant can distinguish some links for which the ordinary Milnor invariants coincide. Moreover, for a Brunnian link $L$, the first non-vanishing Milnor invariants of $L$ is modulo-$2$ congruent to a sum of Milnor invariants of covering links. As a consequence, a sum of linking numbers of ' iterated' covering links gives the first non-vanishing Milnor invariant of $L$ modulo $2$.

The Milnor invariants of clover links

J.P. Levine introduced a clover link to investigate the indeterminacy of the Milnor invariants of a link. It is shown that for a clover link, the Milnor numbers of length at most $2k+1$ are well-defined if those of length at most $k$ vanish, and that the Milnor numbers of length at least $2k+2$ are not well-defined if those of length $k+1$ survive. For a clover link $c$ with the Milnor numbers of length at most $k$ vanishing, we show that the Milnor number $μ_c(I)$ for a sequence $I$ is well-defined up to the greatest common devisor of $μ_{c}(J)'s$, where $J$ is a subsequence of $I$ obtained by removing at least $k+1$ indices. Moreover, if $I$ is a non-repeated sequence with length $2k+2$, the possible range of $μ_c(I)$ is given explicitly. As an application, we give an edge-homotopy classification of $4$-clover links.

Milnor invariants and edge-homotopy classification of clover links

Given a clover link, we construct a bottom tangle by using a disk/band surface of the clover link. Since the Milnor number is already defined for a bottom tangle, we define the Milnor number for the clover link to be the Milnor number for the bottom tangle and show that for a clover link, if Milnor numbers of length k or less vanish, then Milnor numbers of length 2k+1 or less are well-defined. Moreover we prove that two clover links whose Milnor numbers of length k or less vanish are equivalent up to edge-homotopy and $C_{2k+1}$-equivalence if and only if those Milnor numbers of length 2k+1 or less are equal. In particular, we give an edge-homotopy classification of 3-clover links by their Milnor numbers of length 3 or less.
