The odd-parameter pretzel knot strong quasipositivity conjecture
The odd-parameter pretzel knot strong quasipositivity conjecture
Let be the pretzel knot under consideration, where each is odd, and let .
Odd-parameter pretzel conjecture. The knot is strongly quasipositive if and only if either , or and, after possibly reordering so that and , one has .
The source proves the asserted characterization in the cases and , and proposes it for all odd parameters; the remaining cases are therefore open there.
