Strong even boundary slope conjecture for prime non-torus knots
Strong even boundary slope conjecture for prime non-torus knots
Let be a prime non-torus knot and let be its exterior. A properly embedded orientable incompressible and boundary incompressible surface in may have a boundary slope measured on the boundary torus of . Strong even boundary slope conjecture. For any prime non-torus knot , there is a properly embedded orientable incompressible and boundary incompressible surface, which is not a Seifert surface, in the exterior with boundary slope an even integer. The paper presents this as a stronger version of the Even Boundary Slope Conjecture and states that it remains unknown.
