Nonexistence of prime nonsplit two-component links with full symmetry
Nonexistence of prime nonsplit two-component links with full symmetry
Let be a prime, nonsplit two-component link, and let denote its intrinsic symmetry group. The link has full symmetry when , where is the full symmetry group for two-component links. The full-symmetry nonexistence conjecture. There does not exist a prime, nonsplit two-component link with full symmetry:
The source notes that no nonsplit examples with full symmetry were known, and that such a link would have linking number zero, nonalternating structure, and components of the same knot type, with that knot type itself possessing full symmetry.
