The standardness conjecture for -bridge trisections
The standardness conjecture for -bridge trisections
Let be a knotted surface in admitting a --bridge trisection. Such a bridge trisection is a surface of the indicated type, with the bridge parameter and the remaining parameters. Standardness conjecture. Every --surface is an unlink of unknotted 2--spheres and at most one unknotted projective plane. The conjecture is motivated by the fact that the associated branched double-cover trisection is standard; the source presents the corresponding conclusion as reasonable to conjecture, without stating a resolution.
