Topological equivalence conjecture for 2,4 tangles
Topological equivalence conjecture for 2,4 tangles
Let and be two tangles, and let and be two arbitrarily chosen tangle -mosaic representatives of and , respectively, with the same connection points along their boundaries. Topological equivalence conjecture for tangles. The tangles and are ambient isotopic if and only if the representative mosaics and are tangle mosaic equivalent.
This conjecture proposes that the defined boundary-adjusted mosaic equivalence exactly captures ambient isotopy of tangles. The source provides no resolution, so the claim remains open.
