Casson-Lin Type Invariants for Links
In 1992, Xiao-Song Lin constructed an invariant h of knots in the 3-sphere via a signed count of the conjugacy classes of irreducible SU(2)-representations of the fundamental group of the knot exterior with trace-free meridians. Lin showed that h equals one-half times the knot signature. Using metho...
