Eventual linearity conjecture for crossing numbers in twist families
Eventual linearity conjecture for crossing numbers in twist families
Let be a twist family of knots with wrapping number .
Eventual linearity conjecture. For sufficiently large ,
This is a more precise version of the stable crossing number conjecture: it predicts that the crossing number eventually increases by the exact contribution of one additional full twist.
