Twisted Alexander Polynomials of Hyperbolic Knots
Twisted Alexander Polynomials of Hyperbolic Knots
We study a twisted Alexander polynomial naturally associated to a hyperbolic knot in an integer homology 3-sphere via a lift of the holonomy representation to . It is an unambiguous symmetric Laurent polynomial whose coefficients lie in the trace field of the knot. It contains information about genus, fibering, and …
