I will report on a (as yet conjectural) connection between the Seifert graph of an alternating link and its Homfly polynomial P. The formula is analogous to a result of Thistlethwaite concerning the Kauffman polynomial. It involves terms of P in which the exponent of the Conway variable z reaches a maximum. These are related to a previously unknown version of the Tutte polynomial for hypergraphs. That new invariant also satisfies a refined form of Tutte’s Tree Trinity Theorem about planar bipartite graphs.
