Titre:  Tangles and signatures.

Résumé:  Given a braid, taking the signature of its closure provides a map from the braid group to the integers. The multiplicative default of this signature map can be computed in terms of the Burau representation. In this talk, I will express the multiplicative default of the multivariable signature of colored tangles in terms of an isotropic functor.
