Seifert Matrix
Given a Seifert Form 
, choose a basis 
, ..., 
for 
as a Z-module so everyelement is uniquely expressible as
with
integer, define the Seifert matrix 
as the 
integral Matrix with entries
The right-hand Trefoil Knot has Seifert matrix
A Seifert matrix is not a knot invariant, but it can be used to distinguish between different Seifert Surfaces for a given knot.See also Alexander Matrix
