Positive stable braid index conjecture for non-coherent twist families
Positive stable braid index conjecture for non-coherent twist families
Let be a twist family of knots. Call the twist family non-coherent when its twisting strands are not coherently oriented. Define the lower stable braid index by
Positive stable braid index conjecture. If is non-coherent, then
This is presented as a weaker version of the stable braid index conjecture, and would provide a positive braid-index contribution for non-coherent twist families.
