Tait conjectures
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about knot theory. For the conjecture in graph theory, see Tait's conjecture.
The Tait conjectures are three conjectures made by 19th-century mathematician Peter Guthrie Tait in his study of knots.[1] The Tait conjectures involve concepts in knot theory such as alternating knots, chirality, and writhe. All of the Tait conjectures have been solved, the most recent being the Flyping conjecture.
