The unitrack self-intersection conjecture
The unitrack self-intersection conjecture
Let be an initial curve in the horizontal unitrack construction, and let denote the successive curves for . The unitrack is the union of these curves. Call trivial when it is the trivial initial curve in this construction. Unitrack self-intersection conjecture. If is not trivial, then the unitrack consisting of the curves , where , has self-intersections. This is presented as a weaker variation of the preceding conjecture and remains open in the supplied text.
