Full-twist conjecture for odd-superbridge torus braids
Full-twist conjecture for odd-superbridge torus braids
For integers and , consider the closure of the -braid
A knot with superbridge index is called an -superbridge knot.
Full-twist odd-superbridge conjecture. For and , the closure of this braid is a -superbridge knot.
The case is the torus knot of type , whose superbridge index is . The conjecture proposes that inserting any nonnegative even power of the first braid generator preserves that superbridge index, and is intended to provide infinitely many odd-superbridge knots.
