Generalized Kauffman–Harary conjecture
Generalized Kauffman–Harary conjecture
Let be a prime alternating knot, and let be an alternating diagram of without nugatory crossings, so that is a minimal diagram. Let denote the double cover of branched along . Generalized Kauffman–Harary conjecture. Different arcs of represent different elements of
This conjecture concerns the relationship between minimal alternating knot diagrams and the first homology of the double branched cover. The supplied text does not state whether the conjecture is open or resolved.
