Converses to generalized Conway--Gordon type congruences

Abstract

It is known that for every spatial complete graph on n 7 vertices, the summation of the second coefficients of the Conway polynomials over the Hamiltonian knots is congruent to rn modulo (n-5)!, where rn = (n-5)!/2 if n=8k,8k+7, and 0 if n≠ 8k,8k+7. In particular the case of n=7 is famous as the Conway--Gordon K7 theorem. In this paper, conversely, we show that every integer (n-5)! q + rn is realized as the summation of the second coefficients of the Conway polynomials over the Hamiltonian knots in some spatial complete graph on n vertices.
