The L2-Alexander invariant detects the unknot
Abstract
In this article, we present some of the properties of the L2-Alexander invariant of a knot defined by Li and Zhang, some of which are similar to those of the classical Alexander polynomial. Notably we prove that the L2-Alexander invariant detects the trivial knot.
