Jones polynomial unknot detection
Determine whether the Jones polynomial detects the unknot; specifically, prove or refute that J(K)=1 if and only if K is the unknot.
References
It is not known whether the Jones polynomial is a strong enough invariant to recognize the unknot, that is, whether the trivial knot is the only knot whose Jones polynomial is 1.
