Non-symmetric ribbon conjecture for the family \mathcal{A}
Non-symmetric ribbon conjecture for the family \mathcal{A}
Let be the ribbon-knot family considered in the paper, with parameters , and let 12n268 denote the specified knot in the determinant- table. A symmetric union presentation is a diagram of a knot that is symmetric with respect to an axis. Non-symmetric ribbon conjecture for . With the exception of 12n268 and the knots with , the knots do not have symmetric union presentations. This conjecture is supported by the knots with 13 crossings in the table; the corresponding question remains open for the other members of the family.
