Abstract

We construct infinitely many hyperbolic links with x-distance far from the set of (possibly, splittable) alternating links in the concordance class of every link. A sensitive result is given for the concordance class of every (possibly, split) alternating link. Our proof uses an estimate of the τ-distance by an Alexander invariant and the topological imitation theory, both established earlier by the author.
