The characteristic-two generalized crossing-change inequality conjecture

About 4 years old · traced to

Let K−K_- and K+K_+ be knots such that K+K_+ is obtained from K−K_- 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.
