The two slopes conjecture for knots
The two slopes conjecture for knots
Let be a knot and let be the finite set of boundary slopes of essential surfaces in its exterior.
Two slopes conjecture. If
then is a torus knot.
The source presents this as a conjecture motivated by the fact that torus knots have exactly two boundary slopes; no general resolution is supplied.
