Based on this, we conjecture that the crossing number of any quasi-alternating link is less than or equal to its determinant. Thus, if this conjecture is proved then it would give an easier obstruction for quasi-alternateness than the ones already known.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2012-05-19T03:55:12.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "57M25" ], "keywords": [ "quasi-alternating link", "crossing number", "conjecture" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1205.4291Q" } } }
