A non-homology boundary link with zero Alexander polynomial
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 17 April 2009
Abstract
This paper presents a necessary condition for a ribbon link to be an homology boundary link and gives a consequent simple counterexample to the conjecture of Smythe that the vanishing of the first Alexander polynomial characterizes homology boundary links among all 2-component links.
