Jones-Conway polynomial detection conjecture for cables of non-isotopic simple knots
Jones-Conway polynomial detection conjecture for cables of non-isotopic simple knots
Let and be non-isotopic simple knots. For integers and , the cable-detection conjecture asserts that there exist numbers and such that the -cables of and have distinct Jones–Conway polynomials.
This conjecture asks whether suitable cabling always enables the Jones–Conway polynomial to distinguish any two non-isotopic simple knots. The source's e-print correction replaces “prime” by “simple”; the claim remains open.
