The vanishing conjecture for equal-rank Lie superalgebra invariants of slice virtual knots
The vanishing conjecture for equal-rank Lie superalgebra invariants of slice virtual knots
Let be a slice virtual knot, meaning that it is virtually concordant to the unknot, and let be an integer with . The invariant is defined from the generalized polynomial.
Vanishing conjecture. For all , if is a slice virtual knot, then
The case is the generalized Alexander polynomial, which is a virtual slice obstruction, and direct calculations give vanishing for the listed slice virtual knots when . The conjecture proposes that this vanishing holds for every equal-rank case and every slice virtual knot.
