The non-orientable surface pinning complexity conjecture
The non-orientable surface pinning complexity conjecture
Let be a non-orientable surface and let . The problems and are the pinning and simple-pinning decision problems for multiloops with strands on .
Non-orientable surface complexity conjecture. Both and are in when , and are -complete when .
The paper's results rely on theorems for orientable surfaces, so the corresponding complexity classification for non-orientable surfaces is left as a further direction.
