Faithfulness of the spinning map for virtual links

About 12 years old · traced to

Let NN be a fixed nn-manifold, and let ΦN:Vm→Vm+n\Phi_N:V_m\rightarrow V_{m+n} be the construction sending (F×[0,1],L)(F\times [0,1],L) to (F×N×[0,1],L×N)(F\times N\times [0,1],L\times N). Here VmV_m denotes the collection of virtual mm-links. Faithfulness conjecture. For any NN, the map ΦN:Vm→Vm+n\Phi_N:V_m\rightarrow V_{m+n} has the property that ΦN(F×[0,1],L)≅ΦN(F′×[0,1],L′)\Phi_N(F\times [0,1],L)\cong \Phi_N(F'\times [0,1],L') only if (F×[0,1],L)(F\times [0,1],L) and (F′×[0,1],L′)(F'\times [0,1],L') are virtually equivalent up to mirror images and orientation reversal of LL. This would assert that the spinning construction loses no information beyond these stated symmetries; whether this holds is left open in the source.
