The 858_5 rotation-number conjecture for strongly invertible Legendrian knots

About 3 years old · traced to

Let K→\overrightarrow{\mathscr K} be a strongly invertible oriented Legendrian knot of type 858_5, and let tb⁡(K→)\operatorname{tb}(\overrightarrow{\mathscr K}) and rot⁡(K→)\operatorname{rot}(\overrightarrow{\mathscr K}) denote its Thurston–Bennequin and rotation numbers. The 858_5 rotation-number conjecture. If

tb⁡(K→)=−11,\operatorname{tb}(\overrightarrow{\mathscr K})=-11,

then

rot⁡(K→)=0.\operatorname{rot}(\overrightarrow{\mathscr K})=0.

The claim is motivated by the absence of a strongly invertible representative with the same data as a known Legendrian representative having rotation number 22; it remains open.
