The Möbius-band Gram determinant conjecture for diagrams with one crosscap curve
The Möbius-band Gram determinant conjecture for diagrams with one crosscap curve
Let be the set of crossingless-connection diagrams between marked boundary points of the Möbius band, with exactly one curve intersecting the crosscap. Let be its Gram matrix, and let be obtained by substituting and . Let denote the Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind. The Möbius-band one-crosscap determinant conjecture. For ,
The determinant is known to divide the Gram determinant of type , but the displayed closed formula was presented as a conjecture.
