Mosaic representatives as a complete invariant of tame knots
Mosaic representatives as a complete invariant of tame knots
Let and be tame knots or links, and let and be arbitrary chosen mosaic representatives of and , respectively. Two mosaics have the same knot mosaic type when, after possibly applying stabilization maps, they are related by the knot mosaic ambient groups. Mosaic completeness conjecture. The knots and have the same knot type if and only if their representative mosaics and have the same knot mosaic type; equivalently, knot mosaic type is a complete invariant of tame knots. Every tame knot or link admits a mosaic representative, so this conjecture asserts that the mosaic formalism detects exactly ambient isotopy classes.
