Freedman–He–Wang's 36-crossing conjecture for unknotting sequences
Let the Freedman–He–Wang unknot be the unknot diagram discussed in the cited source, and let an unknotting sequence be a sequence of Reidemeister moves connecting it to a round dia…

Östlund's conjecture on simplifying immersed planar curves
Let a generic immersion be a map with only generic singularities, and let Reidemeister moves 1, 2, and 3 be the usual planar moves on immersed curv…
