Mock Alexander Polynomials
Abstract
In this paper, we construct mock Alexander polynomials for starred links and linkoids in surfaces. These polynomials are defined as specific sums over states of link or linkoid diagrams that satisfy f=n, where f denotes the number of regions and n denotes the number of crossings of diagrams.
