Grid-move conjecture for minimal grid diagrams of torus knots
Grid-move conjecture for minimal grid diagrams of torus knots
Let be a torus knot, let be a Legendrian knot of topological type , and let denote the grid number of . Consider a grid diagram for of size . Grid-move conjecture. There is a sequence of commutation and cyclic permutation moves taking to the standard grid diagram representing it. The conjecture has been verified by a computer program up to ; commutation and cyclic permutation are standard moves on grid diagrams, with commutation allowed for adjacent non-interleaved rows or columns.
