Champanerkar–Kofman–Purcell volume–determinant conjecture for alternating knots
Champanerkar–Kofman–Purcell volume–determinant conjecture for alternating knots
Let be a hyperbolic alternating knot. Here, denotes the hyperbolic volume of the complement , and denotes the determinant of . Champanerkar–Kofman–Purcell conjecture.
The conjecture proposes a relationship between the hyperbolic geometry and combinatorial topology of alternating knots. The source states that it is proved for 2-bridge links, alternating 3-braids, and several other infinite families, while the general case remains open.
