Chirality conjecture for the E2k+1E_{2k+1} knot family

For each integer k1k\geq 1, let E2k+1E_{2k+1} denote the family of alternating knots that embed on an M2k+1M_{2k+1} mosaic with D=2|D|=2, where DD is the relevant dual structure. A knot is chiral if it is not ambient isotopic to its mirror image. Chirality conjecture for the E2k+1E_{2k+1} family.

E2k+1 knots are chiral.E_{2k+1}\text{ knots are chiral.}

The source motivates this from the non-palindromic Jones polynomial of the smallest member 747_{4}, but does not establish chirality for every member of the family; the claim therefore remains open.
