Extended Reidemeister move conjecture for knots with discrete diagrams

About 5 years old · traced to

Define the extended Reidemeister moves to be the standard Reidemeister move set together with a fourth move, in which AA is a compact set whose interior remains fixed relative to its boundary; AA may contain wild points. Let f0,f1 ⁣:S1\intoR3f_0,f_1\colon S^1\into\mathbb{R}^3 be knots admitting discrete diagrams, and suppose that f0≅f1f_0\cong f_1. Extended Reidemeister move conjecture. There exists a countable sequence of extended Reidemeister moves satisfying the hypotheses of the ambient-isotopy theorem and taking f0f_0 to f1f_1. This conjecture proposes a countable Reidemeister-type characterization of ambient isotopy for knots admitting discrete diagrams, with the added fourth move allowing compact regions that may contain wild points. The source provides no resolution status.
