Fixed-level bridge finiteness conjecture for links in the 3-sphere
Fixed-level bridge finiteness conjecture for links in the 3-sphere
For an integer , an -bridge position of a link in is a bridge presentation with bridges, considered up to bridge isotopy. Fixed-level bridge finiteness conjecture. For each integer , every link type in admits at most finitely many bridge isotopy classes of -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.
