Abstract
Experimental data from Dunfield et al. using random grid diagrams suggest that the genus of a knot grows linearly with respect to the crossing number. Using billiard table diagrams of Chebyshev knots developed by Koseleff and Pecker and a random model of 2-bridge knots via these diagrams developed by the author with Krishnan and then with Even-Zohar and Krishnan, we introduce a further-truncated model of all 2-bridge knots of a given crossing number, almost all counted twice. We present a convenient way to count Seifert circles in this model and use this to compute a lower bound for the average Seifert genus of a 2-bridge knot of a given crossing number.
