Kauffman-Harary conjecture for alternating virtual knots

Geometric Topology 2015-09-08 v1

Abstract

In 1999, Kauffman-Harary conjectured that every non-trivial Fox pp-coloring of a reduced, alternating knot diagram with prime determinant pp is heterogeneous. Ten years later this conjecture was proved by W. Mattman and P. Solis. Mathew Williamson generalized this conjecture to alternating virtual knots and proved it for certain families of virtual knots. In the present note, we use the methods of W. Mattman and P. Solis to give an affirmative answer to the Kauffman-Harary conjecture for alternating virtual knots.
