Zeros of the Alexander polynomial of knot
Akio Noguchi
Abstract
The leading coefficient of the Alexander polynomial of a knot is the most informative element in this invariant, and the growth of orders of the first homology of cyclic branched covering spaces is also a familiar subject. Accordingly, there are a lot of investigations into each subject. However, there is no study which deal with the both subjects in a same context. In this paper, we show that the two subjects are closely related in p-adic number theory and dynamical systems.
