Three thousand obstructions to knotless embedding

几何拓扑 2026-07-01 v1

摘要

We present a list of 3028 obstructions to knotless embedding. We survey recent work in this area including: 1) A bibliography of graphs proven to be intrinsically knotted without relying on computers; 2) An updated listing of obstructions in Y\nabla\mathrm{Y} families including two new large families; 3) Connections with the Colin de Verdi\`ere's invariant including a new obstruction with μ=6\mu = 6; and 4) Connectivity of obstructions and their structure near vertices of degree three or four. We address questions raised in earlier work, (re)state several conjectures, and propose new questions.
