The Gram determinant conjecture for Möbius-band diagrams with one crosscap curve
The Gram determinant conjecture for Möbius-band diagrams with one crosscap curve
Let . For , let denote the Gram determinant of type , where the Gram matrix is formed from crossingless-connection diagrams on the Möbius band with the associated bilinear form. Let , , , , and be the parameters occurring in that form, and let and denote the Chebyshev polynomials used in the source. The Gram determinant conjecture. For ,
The formula is presented as a conjectured closed form for the Gram determinant; the source also relates its final product factors to the determinant in the one-crosscap sector.
