Conjecture on knot Floer homology of Piccirillo friends
Conjecture on knot Floer homology of Piccirillo friends
Let be a homologically thin slice knot with genus and unknotting number . Assume that has a positive unknotting crossing, and let be the corresponding Piccirillo friend. The corresponding exotic pairs are formed from these knots.
Knot Floer homology conjecture. The group is supported nontrivially in exactly diagonals, shifted up in Maslov grading from . Hence the corresponding exotic pairs are distinct.
This conjecture predicts a precise relationship between the knot Floer homology of a homologically thin slice knot and that of its Piccirillo friend, and would distinguish the associated exotic 's.
