Abstract

The Magnus representation of the Torelli group has been defined in virtue of Fox derivation. The Torelli group is a significant subgroup of the mapping class group of a surface. In this paper, we show some properties of the characteristic polynomials of matrices obtained from the Magnus representation of the Torelli group, which is a class function on the Torelli group.
