Cabling conjecture for bridge spectra of knots
Cabling conjecture for bridge spectra of knots
Let be a knot with bridge spectrum
and let be a cable of . The bridge-spectrum cabling conjecture.
The conjecture expresses the observed regularity of cabling: all listed existing bridge numbers should be multiplied by , with only the final new term left unspecified. The source explicitly calls for either counterexamples or a proof, and gives no resolution.
