The asymptotic relation between degree-two and degree-three Vassiliev invariants of positive knots
The asymptotic relation between degree-two and degree-three Vassiliev invariants of positive knots
Let be a sequence of pairwise distinct positive knots, all with the same given unknotting number. Let be the Jones polynomial and let be the Alexander polynomial, and define the standardly normalized Vassiliev invariants
Asymptotic Vassiliev-invariant conjecture. The numbers , which are well-defined for , converge to as . This predicts a precise asymptotic relation between low-degree Vassiliev invariants along any such sequence of positive knots, and is posed as a further property of Vassiliev invariants for the ordinary unknotting operation; the supplied text gives no resolution.
