Abstract

We discuss when homogeneous quasipositive links are positive. We show that a homogeneous diagram of a quasipositive link whose number of Seifert circles is equal to the braid index is a positive diagram, and show that the truth of Murasugi–Przytycki’s conjecture on braid index of alternating links implies that alternating quasipositive links are positive.
