Hedden–Pinzón-Caicedo's winding-zero rank-expansion conjecture
Hedden–Pinzón-Caicedo's winding-zero rank-expansion conjecture
Let be a pattern, and let its winding number be the algebraic intersection number of with a meridional disk of . A pattern is rank expanding if the associated satellite operator produces an infinite-rank subgroup of the concordance group from a suitable family of companion knots. Hedden–Pinzón-Caicedo's conjecture. If is a nontrivial pattern of winding number zero, then is rank expanding. This is presented as a conjecture of Hedden–Pinzón-Caicedo concerning the infinite-rank behavior of winding-zero satellite patterns; the source gives no resolution.
