Gröbner Bases for Alexander Fitting Ideals of Links
Abstract
Multivariable Alexander theory produces Fitting ideals without preferred generators. After fixing a coefficient field and a monomial order, we represent these ideals by reduced Gröbner bases of their polynomial contractions, obtaining Alexander--Gröbner invariants of links. Over ℚ, for the maximal free-abelian coefficient system of a connected compact oriented 3-manifold whose nonempty boundary is a disjoint union of tori, we deduce determinant-divisor reciprocity from Blanchfield duality. We compute these invariants for torus links and low-crossing links, and we determine AG2 for a two-component pretzel family.
