Chiral knot — In the mathematical field of knot theory, a chiral knot is a knot that is not equivalent to its mirror image. An oriented knot that is equivalent to its mirror image is an amphichiral knot, also called an achiral knot or amphicheiral knot. The… … Wikipedia
Tait conjectures — The Tait conjectures are conjectures made by Peter Guthrie Tait in his study of knots. The Tait conjectures involve concepts in knot theory such as alternating knots, chirality, and writhe. All of the Tait conjectures have been solved, the most… … Wikipedia

Chirality (mathematics) — In geometry, a figure is chiral (and said to have chirality) if it is not identical to its mirror image, or, more precisely, if it cannot be mapped to its mirror image by rotations and translations alone. For example, a right shoe is different… … Wikipedia
Cinquefoil knot — A cinquefoil knot. In knot theory, the cinquefoil knot, also known as Solomon s seal knot or the pentafoil knot, is one of two knots with crossing number five, the other being the three twist knot. It is listed as the 51 knot in the Alexander… … Wikipedia
Invertible knot — In mathematics, especially in the area of topology known as knot theory, an invertible knot is a knot that can be continuously deformed to itself, but with its orientation reversed. A non invertible knot is any knot which does not have this… … Wikipedia
