We show that two classical theorems in graph theory and a simple result concerning the interlace polynomial imply that if K is a reduced alternating link diagram with n β₯ 2 crossings, then the determinant of K is at least n. This gives a particularly simple proof of the fact that reduced alternating
We present a necessary condition for Dehn surgery on a knot in S 3 to be cyclic which is based on the A-polynomial of the knot. The condition involves a width of the Newton polygon of the Apolynomial, and provides a simple method of computing a list of possible cyclic surgery slopes. The width produ
