Abstract

Strong band sum is a natural construction from links to dichromatic links. We compute Hoste and Kidwell's dichromatic link invariant of a strong band sum in terms of monochromatic invariants of the data (original link, band). It turns out that the two-variable Conway polynomial of a strong fusion only depends on the monochromatic Conway polynomial of the original link. In particular, it does not depend on the band. Cochran's series of concordance invariants is discussed in this framework.
