文摘The author discusses 2-adjacency of two-component links and study the relations between the signs of the crossings to realize 2-adjacency and the coefficients of the Conway polynomial of two related links. By discussing the coefficient of the lowest m power in the Homfly polynomial, the author obtains some results and conditions on whether the trivial link is 2-adjacent to a nontrivial link, whether there are two links 2-adjacent to each other, etc. Finally, this paper shows that the Whitehead link is not 2-adjacent to the trivial link, and gives some examples to explain that for any given two-component link,there are infinitely many links 2-adjacent to it. In particular, there are infinitely many links 2-adjacent to it with the same Conway polynomial.
