Strong version of Ishii's conjecture for the Links–Gould invariant
Strong version of Ishii's conjecture for the Links–Gould invariant
Let be an alternating link with components, and write its Links–Gould polynomial as
For a two-indexed sequence , define its support by ; it has no interior zeros when
Strong version of Ishii's conjecture. The coefficients satisfy for all , and has no interior zeros. The source notes that this stronger formulation is false for another two-variable Alexander-polynomial generalization, but gives no resolution for the Links–Gould claim.
