Weakly strong Neuwirth conjecture for prime non-torus knots
Weakly strong Neuwirth conjecture for prime non-torus knots
Let be a prime non-torus knot, let be a non-orientable spanning surface for , and let be the exterior of . The surface is required to be geometrically incompressible and boundary incompressible. Weakly strong Neuwirth conjecture. For any prime non-torus knot , there exists a non-orientable spanning surface for such that is geometrically incompressible and boundary incompressible. The paper introduces this as a weakening of the Strong Neuwirth conjecture and states that it is also unknown.
