Polynomial invariants distinguish alternating links within a family
Polynomial invariants distinguish alternating links within a family
Let be a family of knots or links, and let and be two alternating, nonisotopic s belonging to . Let be a polynomial invariant. Family-distinguishing conjecture. For every such , , and , one has
This conjecture concerns whether polynomial invariants distinguish all nonisotopic alternating knots or links within the same family. The source presents it as a conjecture proposed for families of alternating s; the supplied material gives no resolution.
