Then since aj is expressed in a word of aj+1, aj+2,..., aj+m, and aj+m is expressed in a word of aj, aj+1,..., aj+m−1, G(K˜m)′ is a free group of rank m, completing the proof. □ Acknowledgements.

N2 - The twisted Alexander polynomial is defined as a rational function, not necessarily a poly-nomial. It is shown that for a ribbon 2-knot, the twisted Alexander polynomial associated to an irreducible representation of the knot group to SL(2, F) is always a polynomial. Further-more, the twisted Alexander polynomial of a fibered ribbon 2-knot of 1-fusion has the lowest and highest degree coefficients 1 with breadth 2m − 2, where m is the breadth of its Alexander polynomial.
