Jp-speciality conjecture for alternating knots and links
Jp-speciality conjecture for alternating knots and links
A link has Jones polynomial . The polynomial is alternating if implies and implies ; a link is Jp-special if its Jones polynomial is non-alternating or has gaps.
Jp-speciality conjecture. All alternating knots or links, except those belonging to the family given by Conway symbol —the torus links , —are not Jp-special.
This conjecture concerns the relationship between alternation of a link and the sign and support pattern of its Jones polynomial. The supplied text gives no resolution status.
