Prime knots and links | Knot theory

List of prime knots

In knot theory, prime knots are those knots that are indecomposable under the operation of knot sum. The prime knots with ten or fewer crossings are listed here for quick comparison of their properties and varied naming schemes. (Wikipedia).

Knotty Problems - Marc Lackenby

Knots are a familiar part of everyday life, for example tying your tie or doing up your shoe laces. They play a role in numerous physical and biological phenomena, such as the untangling of DNA when it replicates. However, knot theory is also a well-developed branch of pure mathematics.
