Spiral-knot parameter uniqueness conjecture
Let and be spiral knots, with and the signs as in the spiral-knot notation. Parameter uniqueness conjecture. If
then either and , or is a torus knot, in which case and . This conjecture seeks to strengthen the known conditions under which two spiral knots are equal; its connection with the meridional rank conjecture provides additional motivation, but the claim itself remains open.
