Chirality conjecture for the knot family
Chirality conjecture for the knot family
For each integer , let denote the family of alternating knots that embed on an mosaic with , where is the relevant dual structure. A knot is chiral if it is not ambient isotopic to its mirror image. Chirality conjecture for the family.
The source motivates this from the non-palindromic Jones polynomial of the smallest member , but does not establish chirality for every member of the family; the claim therefore remains open.
