Conjecture on linear independence of L-space knots
Conjecture on linear independence of L-space knots
An -space knot is a knot admitting a nontrivial Dehn surgery yielding an -space. Let the knots be regarded as elements of the knot concordance group.
L-space-knot linear-independence conjecture. The set of -space knots in is linearly independent in the knot concordance group. In particular, if -space knots and are concordant, then .
The source presents this as a potentially more manageable conjecture than Baker's conjecture and does not provide a resolution.
