The Arf invariant of a totally proper link

Abstract

AbstractSuppose L is an oriented link in S3 such that each pair of components of L link each other an even number of times. Then the Arf invariant of L is equal to the sum (mod 2) of the Arf invariants of all sublinks of L plus a certain coefficient of the Conway polynomial of L. This result extends the formula recently given by Murasugi in the case when L has two components
