Jones's conjecture on nontrivial knots with trivial Jones polynomial
Jones's conjecture on nontrivial knots with trivial Jones polynomial
Let be a knot, and let denote its Jones polynomial. A knot is non-trivial if it is not isotopic to the unknot. Jones's conjecture. There exists a non-trivial knot such that
The statement is presented as still open, although Khovanov homology detects the unknot, showing that the analogous question for Khovanov homology has a negative answer.
