Abstract

It is known that for every spatial complete graph on n7n\ge 7 vertices, the summation of the second coefficients of the Conway polynomials over the Hamiltonian knots is congruent to rnr_{n} modulo (n5)!(n-5)!, where rn=(n5)!/2r_{n} = (n-5)!/2 if n=8k,8k+7n=8k,8k+7, and 00 if n8k,8k+7n\neq 8k,8k+7. In particular the case of n=7n=7 is famous as the Conway--Gordon K7K_{7} theorem. In this paper, conversely, we show that every integer (n5)!q+rn(n-5)! q + r_{n} is realized as the summation of the second coefficients of the Conway polynomials over the Hamiltonian knots in some spatial complete graph on nn vertices.
