Abstract:
Torres has given necessary conditions for a polynomial to be the Alexander polynomial of a two component link. For certain links, additional conditions are necessary. Hillman gave one example for linking number $6$. Here we give examples for all other linking numbers except $0, \pm 1$, and $\pm 2$.References
