Classification conjecture for regular homotopy classes of curves
Let be the integer that counts the number of rotations of the velocity vector along a curve . Curves with include the curves in the family indexed by integers . Classification conjecture. Curves with the same value of are regularly homotopic. This would imply that the displayed family , indexed by all integers, contains every curve up to regular homotopy; the conjecture is presented as the assumption that would complete the classification.
