Abstract
We develop a diagrammatic calculus for representations of unrolled quantum at a fourth root of unity. This allows us to prove Seifert-Torres type formulas for certain splice links using quantum algebraic methods, rather than topological methods. Other applications of this diagrammatic calculus given here are a skein relation for -cabled double crossings and a simple proof that the quantum invariant associated with these representations determines the multivariable Alexander polynomial.
