In this paper, it is proved that this conjecture contradicts several other plausible conjectures, including the 120-year-old conjecture on additivity of the crossing number of knots under connected sum and the conjecture that the crossing number of a satellite knot is not less than that of its companion.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-12-11T02:57:02.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "57M25", "60G50", "20F65", "20F67", "20F36" ], "keywords": [ "hyperbolic knots", "genericity", "crossing number", "fewer crossings approaches", "knot theory says" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 22, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
