Positive lower-bound conjecture for conformal angle energy of non-trivial knots
Positive lower-bound conjecture for conformal angle energy of non-trivial knots
Let be a knot, and let denote the absolute value of its conformal linking energy. Positive lower-bound conjecture. There is a positive constant such that, if is a non-trivial knot, then
Such a bound would separate non-trivial knots from the standard planar circle, for which the corresponding energy is zero. The source gives no resolution of this claim.
