Qi Chen's Gram determinant conjecture for the Möbius band
Let . For , let be the Gram determinant of type . Let and denote the Chebyshev polynomials used in the source, and let encode the contribution from diagrams with curves passing through the crosscap. Qi Chen's conjecture. For ,
where
and represents the number of curves passing through the crosscap. The displayed formula is given as a future-direction conjecture and is described as a restatement associated with Qi Chen.
