The dimer-model conjecture for torus knots
The dimer-model conjecture for torus knots
A torus knot is the knot represented by the standard torus-knot construction with coprime positive integers and . A dimer model is a combinatorial model whose underlying graph is bipartite and whose perfect matchings encode the relevant knot-theoretic data.
Torus-knot dimer-model conjecture. Every torus knot admits a dimer model.
The conjecture is proposed as a future direction motivated by the explicit computations in the paper and by the braid-group description of torus knots. The source does not give evidence that it has been proved or disproved.
