Zupan's width conjecture for satellite knots
Zupan's width conjecture for satellite knots
Let be a satellite knot with companion and pattern having wrapping number . The width of a knot, denoted by , is the knot width in the sense of Gabai. Zupan's width conjecture.
If is a satellite knot with companion and pattern with wrapping number , then
This conjecture is the analogue for knot width of the bridge-number inequality of Schubert and Schultens. The paper proves the corresponding equality for a -cable, but the general satellite-knot inequality stated here is not resolved in the supplied text.
