Abstract

There are two kinds of closing method for a given braid ${\beta}{\in}B_{2n}$ , a braid closure $\hat{\beta}$ and a plat closure $\bar{\beta}$ . In the article, we find a relation between the Conway potential function ${\nabla}_{\hat{\beta}}$ of braid closure $\hat{\beta}$ and ${\nabla}_{\hat{\beta}}$ of plat closure $\bar{\beta}$ .

Keywords
