The second coefficient of the Alexander polynomial as a satellite obstruction

A set $\mathcal{P}$ of links is introduced, containing positive braid links as well as arborescent positive Hopf plumbings. It is shown that for links in $\mathcal{P}$, the leading and the second coefficient of the Alexander polynomial have opposite sign. It follows that certain satellite links, suc...
