Abstract/Summary:
A polynomial invariant of links in a solid torus is defined through an algebra ;A link in the solid torus is isotopic to a closed braid which is a braid in the braid group of the annulus. We find an invariant of links through a represention ;;of ;An invariant of links in a solid torus was discovered by S. Lambropoulou through the type-B Hecke algebra. It can be recovered from...
