Non-isomorphism conjecture for generalized groups of the square and granny knots
Non-isomorphism conjecture for generalized groups of the square and granny knots
Let and denote the generalized knot groups associated with the square knot and granny knot , respectively, for integers . Non-isomorphism conjecture. The groups and are not isomorphic for each . The conjecture is motivated by the difference between their presentations, although computations of homomorphism counts and twisted Alexander polynomials have not distinguished the groups; their non-isomorphism remains open.
