The d-invariant characterization of amphichiral 2-bridge knots
The d-invariant characterization of amphichiral 2-bridge knots
Let with odd and . Write for the lens space associated to the 2-bridge knot , and let its Heegaard Floer correction terms be the values over . The d-invariant characterization conjecture. The following are equivalent: the correction terms of can be partitioned into multisets, each of the form for some , together with a single multiset ; the 2-bridge knot is amphichiral; there is an orientation-reversing self-diffeomorphism of ; and . This conjecture proposes that the correction-term pattern exactly characterizes amphichirality, equivalently the orientation-reversing symmetry of the lens space and the stated congruence condition. The paper notes that the pattern was checked for all 2-bridge knots with at most 12 crossings, but does not establish the equivalence in general.
