Abstract

In this paper, we compute Alexander polynomials of a torus curve $C$ of type $(2,5)$, $C:\,f(x,y)=f_{2}(x,y)^{5}+f_{5}(x,y)^{2}=0$, under the assumption that the origin $O$ is the unique inner singularity and $f_{2}=0$ is an irreducible conic. We show that the Alexander polynomial remains the same with that of a generic torus curve as long as $C$ is irreducible.
