The order-two non-classicality conjecture for almost classical knot 6.85091

At least 4 years old · documented by

Let VC\mathscr{VC} be the concordance group of long virtual knots. The almost classical knot 6.850916.85091 is the closure of a long virtual knot υ\upsilon. The order-two non-classicality conjecture. The long virtual knot υ\upsilon has order 22 in VC\mathscr{VC} and is not concordant to a classical knot. It is an open question whether the concordance group of long virtual knots contains any non-classical torsion; the conjecture would provide such an example, motivated by the symmetry data and the distinction between the relevant surface classes.
