Earlier it was described to which extent the Alexander polynomial in several variables of an algebraic link in the Poincaré sphere determines the topology of the link. It was shown that, except some explicitly described cases, the Alexander polynomial of an algebraic link determines the combinatorial type of the minimal resolution of the curve and therefore the topology of the corresponding link. The Alexander polynomial of an algebraic link in the Poincaré sphere coincides with the Poincaré series of the corresponding set of curve valuations. The latter one can be defined as an integral over the space of divisors on the E 8 -singularity.Here we consider a similar integral for rational double point surface singularities over the space of Weil divisors called the Weil-Poincaré series. We show that, except a few explicitly described cases the Weil-Poincaré series of a collection of curve valuations on a rational double point surface singularity determines the topology of the corresponding link. We give analogous statements for collections of divisorial valuations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
