On the Question of Genericity of Hyperbolic Knots

Abstract: A well-known conjecture in knot theory says that the percentage of hyperbolic knots amongst all of the prime knots of n or fewer crossings approaches 100 as n approaches infinity. In this paper, it is proved that this conjecture contradicts several other plausible conjectures, including the 120-year-old conjecture on additivity of the crossing number of knots under connected sum and the conjecture that the crossing number of a satellite knot is not less than that of its companion.

“…Definition 2 (Regular knots; see [Mal18]). If P is a knot and x is a real number, we say that P is x-regular if we have x • cr(P ) ≤ cr(K) whenever P is a factor of a knot K. If there exists a knot K such that P is a factor of K and cr(K) < x•cr(P ), we say that P is non-x-regular.…”

“…That is, given two knots K 1 and K 2 of minimal crossing numbers c(K 1 ) and c(K 2 ) respectively, is it true that c(K 1 #K 2 ) = c(K 1 + K 2 )? A positive answer to this question would not only help the understanding of this most fundamental knot invariant, but also contradict other conjectures, for example that the percentage of hyperbolic knots among all prime knots of minimal crossing number at most n approaches 100 as n goes to infinity [7].…”
