Abstract

We show that the page at which the Lee spectral sequence collapses gives a bound on the unknotting number, u(K). In particular, for knots with u(K)≤2, we show that the Lee spectral sequence must collapse at the E2 page. An immediate corollary is that the Knight Move Conjecture is true when u(K)≤2.
