A Proof of the Kauffman–harary Conjecture
نویسنده
چکیده
We prove the Kauffman–Harary Conjecture, posed in 1999: given a reduced, alternating diagram D of a knot with prime determinant p, every non-trivial Fox p-coloring of D will assign different colors to different arcs.

On the Harary-kauffman Conjecture and Turk’s Head Knots
Abstract. The m, n Turk’s Head Knot, THK(m, n), is an “alternating (m, n) torus knot.” We prove the Harary-Kauffman conjecture for all THK(m, n) except for the case where m ≥ 5 is odd and n ≥ 3 is relatively prime to m. We also give evidence in support of the conjecture in that case. Our proof rests on the observation that none of these knots have prime determinant except for THK(m, 2) when Pm ...
متن کاملOn the Kauffman-Harary conjecture for Alexander quandle colorings
The Kauffman-Harary conjecture is a conjecture for Fox’s colorings of alternating knots with prime determinants. We consider a conjecture for Alexander quandle colorings by referring to the Kauffman-Harary conjecture. We prove that this new conjecture is true for twist knots.
متن کاملA short proof of the maximum conjecture in CR dimension one
In this paper and by means of the extant results in the Tanaka theory, we present a very short proof in the specific case of CR dimension one for Beloshapka's maximum conjecture. Accordingly, we prove that each totally nondegenerate model of CR dimension one and length >= 3 has rigidity. As a result, we observe that the group of CR automorphisms associated with each of such models contains onl...
متن کاملOn the Closed-Form Solution of a Nonlinear Difference Equation and Another Proof to Sroysang’s Conjecture
The purpose of this paper is twofold. First we derive theoretically, using appropriate transformation on x(n), the closed-form solution of the nonlinear difference equation x(n+1) = 1/(±1 + x(n)), n ∈ N_0. The form of solution of this equation, however, was first obtained in [10] but through induction principle. Then, with the solution of the above equation at hand, we prove a case ...
متن کاملOn the oriented perfect path double cover conjecture
An oriented perfect path double cover (OPPDC) of a graph $G$ is a collection of directed paths in the symmetric orientation $G_s$ of $G$ such that each arc of $G_s$ lies in exactly one of the paths and each vertex of $G$ appears just once as a beginning and just once as an end of a path. Maxov{'a} and Ne{v{s}}et{v{r}}il (Discrete Math. 276 (2004) 287-294) conjectured that ...
