Signature-zero prime-determinant linking-form conjecture
Signature-zero prime-determinant linking-form conjecture
Let be a knot, let denote its signature, let be its prime determinant, let denote the first homology group of the double branched cover of , and let denote its linking form. Signature-zero linking-form conjecture. If has prime determinant and signature zero, then there is an element such that
The claim is known for signature in the related discussion, while the signature-zero case is presented as an empirically supported open problem.
