Recursive width conjecture for torus knots
Recursive width conjecture for torus knots
Let denote the torus knot associated to positive coprime integers and , and let be its knot Floer homology. Write for its width. Recursive width conjecture. If , then
Together with the base case and the symmetry , this would recursively determine the width for every torus knot. The conjecture is known for and for , and computer computations verify it for ; its general validity remains open.
