[#R1717] Dated source and duplicate audit

View evidenceOpen source ↗

1Summary

The exact target, equivalent terminology, and 2025-2026 status evidence were checked on 2026-08-01. Strongest checked result: Floer, Casson, hyperbolic, and computational methods settle broad knot classes, including all knots through substantial crossing ranges. Unresolved remainder: The universal statement for nontrivial knots in S³ remains open.

The audit ran on 2026-08-01 across the cited primary literature and problem collections, Crossref, arXiv, and stable publisher records, TheoremDB published, prospecting, packet, formal, and retired corpus. It checked the exact statement, its named or normalized variants, recent status evidence, and the controlled TheoremDB corpus.

Queries included: - purely cosmetic surgery conjecture open 2026 - cosmetic surgery knots S3 distinct slopes 2025

Supported evidence. Replay readiness: source only.
