Shadow-diagram move conjecture for surface-links
Shadow-diagram move conjecture for surface-links
Let and be shadow diagrams for a fixed surface-link . The allowed moves are core stabilization or destabilization, Hopf stabilization or destabilization, relative double twist, interior perturbation or deperturbation, Markov perturbation or deperturbation, arc and curve slides, and isotopy rel-.
Shadow-diagram move conjecture. The diagrams and can be related by a finite sequence of moves, each of which is one of the listed types.
This is presented as a diagrammatic analogue of the stabilization and perturbation conjecture for bridge trisections. It would give a finite move-set relating any two shadow diagrams of the same surface-link, but the source does not prove it.
