 Knot signature

The knot signature is the signature of the symmetrized Seifert matrix. Equivalently it is the signature of the double branched covering of $B^4$ over a pushed-in Seifert surface. At $\omega =-1$ it agrees with the Levine-Tristram signature. It is additive under connected sum of knots, changes sign under reflection, and obeys $|\sigma (K)|\le 2g_4(K)$. State the ambient orientation and push-off convention when assigning a sign.
