In this paper, we will construct symmetric links by using the method adapted from the graph theory, and study a Seifert matrix of a symmetric link from the information of the Seifert matrix of the base link and the corresponding group action.

In this paper, we will find a Seifert matrix for a class of pretzel links with a certain symmetry. Using the symmetry, we find formulae for the Alexander polynomials, determinants and signatures of the pretzel links.

We define a crossing of a link without referring to a specific projection of the link and describe a construction of a non-normalized Alexander polynomial associated to collections of such crossings of oriented links under an equivalence relation, called homology relation. The polynomial is computed from a special Seifert surface of the link. We prove that the polynomial is well-defined for the homology equivalence classes, investigate its relationship with the combinatorially defined Alexander polynomials and study some of its properties.
