Non-symmetric ribbon conjecture for the family \mathcal{B}
Non-symmetric ribbon conjecture for the family \mathcal{B}
Let be the ribbon-knot family considered in the paper, with parameters . A ribbon is respected when a transformation to a symmetric union preserves that specified ribbon. The knots are composite ribbon knots, and the paper identifies the knots 11a103, 11a165, 11a201, 12n62, and 12n66 among this family. Non-symmetric ribbon conjecture for . The composite knots are non-symmetric ribbon knots; in particular, the knots 11a103, 11a165, 11a201, 12n62, and 12n66 are non-symmetric ribbon knots. Moreover, no knot can be transformed to a symmetric union respecting its ribbon. The authors state that they are less confident in this conjecture than in the determinant- cases, and the assertions remain open.
