Nullity, determinant, and FAMEDness conjectures for ordered geometric triangulations
Nullity, determinant, and FAMEDness conjectures for ordered geometric triangulations
Let be an ordered and geometric triangulation of a knot complement. Let and be the matrices associated with , and let the nullity of a matrix mean the codimension of its image.
Nullity, determinant, and FAMEDness conjecture. The following assertions hold:
- The nullity of is twice the nullity of .
- If and are invertible, then
- If and are invertible, then is FAMED.
In particular, conditions (2), (3), and (4) of the FAMED condition are equivalent. These patterns were observed experimentally across hundreds of thousands of ordered triangulations, but the statement is presented as a conjecture because no general proof is supplied.
