The finite-quandle separation conjecture for knot symmetry classes
The finite-quandle separation conjecture for knot symmetry classes
Let be the group generated by reversal and mirror operations on knots, and let be a finite set of knots closed under the action of . For a finite sequence of finite quandles , define
Finite-quandle separation conjecture. There exists such a sequence satisfying, for all ,
The weaker implication that equal coloring vectors force is also stated. The authors verify these claims computationally for various finite knot sets, including knots with at most 12 crossings, but the general finite-set assertion remains open.
