The characteristic-two generalized crossing-change inequality conjecture

Let KK_- and K+K_+ be knots such that K+K_+ is obtained from KK_- by a negative generalized crossing change on 2n2n strands. Characteristic-two generalized crossing-change inequality conjecture.

ϑ2(K)ϑ2(K+)ϑ2(K)+4n2.\vartheta_2(K_-) \leq\vartheta_2(K_+)\leq\vartheta_2(K_-)+4n^2.

This would follow from the conjectured extension of the generalized crossing-change inequality for s2s_2.
