  2. Invertible knot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invertible_knot

    The simplest example of a non-invertible knot is the knot 8 17 (Alexander-Briggs notation) or .2.2 (Conway notation). The pretzel knot 7, 5, 3 is non-invertible, as are all pretzel knots of the form (2 p + 1), (2 q + 1), (2 r + 1), where p , q , and r are distinct integers, which is the infinite family proven to be non-invertible by Trotter.

  3. Figure-eight knot (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Figure-eight_knot...

    A theorem of Lackenby and Meyerhoff, whose proof relies on the geometrization conjecture and computer assistance, holds that 10 is the largest possible number of exceptional surgeries of any hyperbolic knot. However, it is not currently known whether the figure-eight knot is the only one that achieves the bound of 10.

  4. Knot (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knot_(mathematics)

    A framed knot is the extension of a tame knot to an embedding of the solid torus D 2 × S 1 in S 3. The framing of the knot is the linking number of the image of the ribbon I × S 1 with the knot. A framed knot can be seen as the embedded ribbon and the framing is the (signed) number of twists. [8] This definition generalizes to an analogous ...

  5. 800 (number) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/800_(number)

    This number is the magic constant of n×n normal magic square and n-queens problem for n = 12. 871 = 13 × 67, thirteenth tridecagonal number; 872 = 2 3 × 109, refactorable number, nontotient, 872! + 1 is prime; 873 = 3 2 × 97, sum of the first six factorials from 1

  6. Directional figure eight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directional_figure_eight

    The directional figure eight (a.k.a. inline figure-eight loop) is a loop knot.It is a knot that can be made on the bight.The loop must only be loaded in the correct direction or the knot may fail.

  7. Conway knot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway_knot

    In mathematics, specifically in knot theory, the Conway knot (or Conway's knot) is a particular knot with 11 crossings, named after John Horton Conway. [1]It is related by mutation to the Kinoshita–Terasaka knot, [3] with which it shares the same Jones polynomial.

  8. Slippery eight loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slippery_eight_loop

    The slippery eight loop is known — despite the name — to have an extraordinary ability to not slip and it is extremely secure when the legs are at less than a 90-degree angle.

  9. Figure-eight knot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Figure-eight_knot

    The figure-eight loop is used like an overhand loop knot. This type of knot can be used in prusik climbing when used in conjunction with a climbing harness, a climbing rope, and locking carabiner designed for climbing, to ascend or descend with minimal equipment and effort.
