[Lʼinvariant dʼAlexander L2 détecte le nœud trivial]
Comptes Rendus. Mathématique, Tome 351 (2013) no. 5-6, pp. 215-219.

Le but de cette note est de démontrer que lʼinvariant dʼAlexander L2, un invariant de nœuds défini via des torsions L2, détecte le nœud trivial.

The aim of this note is to prove that the L2-Alexander invariant, a knot invariant defined using L2-torsions, detects the unknot.
