We consider the ``intrinsic'' symmetry group of a two-component link L which records directly whether L is isotopic to a link obtained by reversing the orientation of the ambient space, reversing the orientations of the components, or permuting the components of L. It is a subgroup of the Whitten group, the group of all such isotopies. en Wake Forest University Link Symmetries Two-Component Link Symmetries Thesis Parsley, Jason Howards, Hugh Raynor, Sarah Mathematics open.access
