Fixed-level bridge finiteness conjecture for links in the 3-sphere

Less than 1 year old · traced to

For an integer n≥1n\ge 1, an nn-bridge position of a link in S3S^3 is a bridge presentation with nn bridges, considered up to bridge isotopy. Fixed-level bridge finiteness conjecture. For each integer n≥1n\ge 1, every link type in S3S^3 admits at most finitely many bridge isotopy classes of nn-bridge positions. This conjecture asks for finiteness at each fixed bridge number and is a finer question than finiteness of link types with bounded bridge number; its status is not determined by the supplied source.
