The arc-faithful diagram conjecture for hyperbolic knots
The arc-faithful diagram conjecture for hyperbolic knots
Let be a hyperbolic knot, and call a diagram of arc-faithful when its associated octahedral coloring has the required non-pinched property and holonomy equal to the complete hyperbolic structure. Arc-faithful diagram conjecture. Every hyperbolic knot has an arc-faithful diagram. The conjecture is motivated by computational evidence: every hyperbolic knot with at most crossings has an arc-faithful diagram, and such diagrams are relevant to a general proof of the Volume Conjecture.
