In this paper, we prove that all tight fibered knots are minimal in this partially ordered set. We also give the table of prime minimal knots up to $8$-crossings except for $8_{15}$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2023-06-29T03:28:18.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "57K10" ], "keywords": [ "tight fibered knots", "minimality", "prime minimal knots", "ribbon concordance forms", "partially ordered set" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
