Finite residuality of involutory quandles of knots
Finite residuality of involutory quandles of knots
Let be a knot diagram, and let denote its involutory quandle. An involutory quandle is trivial if it consists of one element.
Involutory quandles are finitely residual. If is non-trivial, then there is a finite non-trivial involutory quandle and a surjective homomorphism
This is presented as equivalent to the finite countermodel property needed for the proposed unknot-detection programme to become a decision procedure; the source gives no resolution of the conjecture.
