Torsion existence conjecture for non-split links

About 22 years old · traced to

Let LL be a non-split link. Khovanov homology means the integral Khovanov homology of LL, and 22-torsion means torsion elements of order 22.

Torsion existence conjecture. Except for the trivial knot, the Hopf link, and their connected sums, the Khovanov homology of LL has 22-torsion.

The conjecture was motivated by computations of knots and links with bounded crossing number. The supplied text gives no resolution status.
