Torus-knot conjecture for nontrivial SU(2)-averse knots
Torus-knot conjecture for nontrivial SU(2)-averse knots
Let be a nontrivial -averse knot, meaning a knot with the -averseness property discussed above.
Torus-knot conjecture. If is a nontrivial -averse knot, then is a torus knot.
This conjecture predicts that torus knots are the only nontrivial knots with the -averse property. The preceding results describe restrictions on -cyclic surgery slopes and satellite constructions, but do not settle whether other -averse knots exist.
