framed knot
1Framed knot — In the mathematical theory of knots, a framed knot is the extension of a tame knot to an embedding of the solid torus D 2 times; S 1 in S 3.The framing of the knot is the linking number of the image of the ribbon I times; S 1 with the knot. As… …
2List of knot theory topics — Knot theory is the study of mathematical knots. While inspired by knots which appear in daily life in shoelaces and rope, a mathematician s knot differs in that the ends are joined together so that it cannot be undone. In precise mathematical… …
3Knot polynomial — In the mathematical field of knot theory, a knot polynomial is a knot invariant in the form of a polynomial whose coefficients encode some of the properties of a given knot. HistoryThe first knot polynomial, the Alexander polynomial, was… …
4Self-linking number — In knot theory, the self linking number is an invariant of framed knots. It is related to the linking number of curves.A framing of a knot is a choice of a non tangent vector at each point of the knot. Given a framed knot C , the self linking… …
5Linking number — In mathematics, the linking number is a numerical invariant that describes the linking of two closed curves in three dimensional space. Intuitively, the linking number represents the number of times that each curve winds around the other. The… …
