Kauffman's Strong Conjecture for genus-one Seifert surfaces
Kauffman's Strong Conjecture for genus-one Seifert surfaces
Let be a slice knot, and let be a genus-one Seifert surface for . For a simple closed curve on , write for its positive push-off and for its self-linking. Kauffman's Strong Conjecture. There \exists an essential simple closed curve on such that
and is a slice knot. The paper's counterexamples to Kauffman's conjectures show that this assertion fails in general.
