The trapezoidal conjecture for the links of braid index 3 (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
The trapezoidal conjecture is a classical famous conjecture posed by Fox, which states that the coefficient sequence of the Alexander polynomial of any alternating link is trapezoidal. In this talk, we show this conjecture for any alternating links of braid index 3. Although the result holds for any choice of the orientation, we shall mainly discuss the case of the closures of alternating 3-braids with parallel orientations.
