[edit Notes for 6 1's three dimensional invariants] 6_1 is a ribbon knot (drawings by Yoko Mizuma): a ribbon diagram isotopy to a ribbon 6_1 has two slice disks, by Scott Carter Scott Carter notes that 6_1 bounds two distinct slice disks. He says: "this was spoken of in Fox's Example 10, 11, and 12 in a Quick Trip through Knot Theory ... BTW, the cover of Carter and Saito's Knotted Surfaces and Their Diagrams contains an illustration of such a slice disk". A picture is on the right.

Khovanov Homology

The coefficients of the monomials $t^{r}q^{j}$ are shown, along with their alternating sums $\chi$ (fixed $j$, alternation over $r$). The squares with yellow highlighting are those on the "critical diagonals", where $j-2r=s+1$ or $j-2r=s-1$, where $s=$0 is the signature of 6 1. Nonzero entries off the critical diagonals (if any exist) are highlighted in red.
