Abstract

Using the Fourier expansion of Markov traces for Ariki-Koike algebras over Q(q,u1,...,ue)\mathbb{Q}(q,u_{1},...,u_{e}), we give a direct definition of the Alexander polynomials for mixed links. We observe that under the corresponding specialization of a Markov parameter, the Fourier coefficients of Markov traces take quite simple form. As a consequence, we show that the Alexander polynomial of a mixed link is essentially equal to the Alexander polynomial of the link obtained by resolving the twisted parts.
