As an application, we give a new constraint for genus one knot to admit a (generalized) cosmetic crossing. Combining known results, we prove the (generalized) cosmetic crossing conjecture for genus one pretzel knots.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-08-10T07:55:15.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "57K10" ], "keywords": [ "gordian distance", "obstruction", "cosmetic crossing conjecture", "homflt polynomials", "th coefficient" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 5, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
