(For In[1] see Setup)

In[2]:= ?MultivariableAlexander
MultivariableAlexander[L][t] returns the multivariable alexander polynomial of a link L as a function of the variable t[1], t[2], ..., t[c], where c is the number of components of L.

There are 11 links with up to 11 crossings whose multivariable Alexander polynomial is . Here they are:


In[3]:= Select[AllLinks[], (MultivariableAlexander[#][t] == 0) &]
Out[3]= {Link[9, NonAlternating, 27], Link[10, NonAlternating, 32], Link[10, NonAlternating, 36], Link[10, NonAlternating, 107], Link[11, NonAlternating, 244], Link[11, NonAlternating, 247], Link[11, NonAlternating, 334], Link[11, NonAlternating, 381], Link[11, NonAlternating, 396], Link[11, NonAlternating, 404], Link[11, NonAlternating, 406]}
