Twisted Alexander polynomials of torus links

Geometric Topology 2019-04-18 v1

Abstract

In this paper we give an explicit formula for the twisted Alexander polynomial of any torus link and show that it is a locally constant function on the SL(2,C)SL(2, \mathbb C)-character variety. We also discuss similar things for the higher dimensional twisted Alexander polynomial and the Reidemeister torsion.
