The cubical knot complex is homotopy equivalent to the Vassiliev simplicial complex
The cubical knot complex is homotopy equivalent to the Vassiliev simplicial complex
Let be the space obtained from by attaching an -cell for every knot , with , whose boundary is given by resolving the double points and the triple point as specified. Cubical–Vassiliev homotopy conjecture. The space
is homotopy equivalent to the Vassiliev simplicial complex. This proposes that the cubical complex enlarged by cells for triple-point singularities recovers the homotopy type of the Vassiliev complex; the supplied text gives no evidence that the claim has been resolved.
