Infinite family of different prime knots with trivial Alexander polynomial

I am looking for infinite families of prime knots that have all Alexander polynomial equals to 1. I wrote "families" (and not "family") since perhaps there are different constructions out there. Moreo …

Infinite family of different prime knots with trivial Alexander polynomial

Another family of examples is given by the "generalised Kinoshita-Terasaka" knots, here is a picture from Lickorish' "An introduction to Knot Theory". Here $d$ is assumed to be even. Of course, this …

Reshuffling power series (aka Melvin–Morton expansion in knot theory)

I am struggling to understand a statement which follows from some change of variables in a power series. I think that the context does not really matter here, so I will put it at the end of the questi …
