Abstract

We prove a decomposition formula for twisted Blanchfield pairings of 3-manifolds. As an application we show that the twisted Blanchfield pairing of a 3-manifold obtained from a 3- manifold Y with a representation ϕ: ℤ[π1(Y)] → R, infected by a knot J along a curve η with ϕ(η) ≠ 1, splits orthogonally as the sum of the twisted Blanchfield pairing of Y and the ordinary Blanchfield pairing of the knot J, with the latter tensored up from ℤ[t, t-1] to R.
