Abstract:
Two covering versions of the Sato-Levine invariant are constructed which provide obstructions to certain two-component oriented links in the 3-sphere being link concordant to boundary links. These covering invariants are rational functions one of which detects both nonamphicheirality and noninvertibility of oriented links.
