Abstract
In this paper, we relate the nullification writhe and the remaining writhe defined by C. Cerf to other link invariants. We prove that the nullification writhe of an oriented reduced alternating link diagram is equal, up to sign, to the signature of the link. Moreover, we relate the difference between the nullication writhe and the remaining writhe to invariants obtained from chessboard-coloured link diagrams such as their numbers of shaded and unshaded regions.
