Index Satellite knot

In the mathematical theory of knots, a satellite knot is a knot that contains an incompressible, non boundary-parallel torus in its complement. [1]

Bing double

In knot theory, a field of mathematics, the Bing double of a knot is a link with two components which follow the pattern of the knot and "hook together". Satellite knot and Bing double are knot theory.

Borromean rings

In mathematics, the Borromean rings are three simple closed curves in three-dimensional space that are topologically linked and cannot be separated from each other, but that break apart into two unknotted and unlinked loops when any one of the three is cut or removed. Satellite knot and Borromean rings are knot theory.

Boundary parallel

In mathematics, a closed n-manifold N embedded in an (n + 1)-manifold M is boundary parallel (or ∂-parallel, or peripheral) if there is an isotopy of N onto a boundary component of M.

Geometrization conjecture

In mathematics, Thurston's geometrization conjecture (now a theorem) states that each of certain three-dimensional topological spaces has a unique geometric structure that can be associated with it.

Horst Schubert

Horst Schubert (11 June 1919 – 2001) was a German mathematician.

In mathematics, a hyperbolic link is a link in the 3-sphere with complement that has a complete Riemannian metric of constant negative curvature, i.e. has a hyperbolic geometry. Satellite knot and hyperbolic link are knot theory.

Incompressible surface

In mathematics, an incompressible surface is a surface properly embedded in a 3-manifold, which, in intuitive terms, is a "nontrivial" surface that cannot be simplified.

JSJ decomposition

In mathematics, the JSJ decomposition, also known as the toral decomposition, is a topological construct given by the following theorem: The acronym JSJ is for William Jaco, Peter Shalen, and Klaus Johannson.

Knot (mathematics)

In mathematics, a knot is an embedding of the circle into three-dimensional Euclidean space, (also known as). Often two knots are considered equivalent if they are ambient isotopic, that is, if there exists a continuous deformation of which takes one knot to the other.

Knot complement

In mathematics, the knot complement of a tame knot K is the space where the knot is not. Satellite knot and knot complement are knot theory.

Knot theory

In topology, knot theory is the study of mathematical knots.

Prime knot

In knot theory, a prime knot or prime link is a knot that is, in a certain sense, indecomposable.

Torus

In geometry, a torus (tori or toruses) is a surface of revolution generated by revolving a circle in three-dimensional space one full revolution about an axis that is coplanar with the circle.

See Satellite knot and Torus

Torus knot

In knot theory, a torus knot is a special kind of knot that lies on the surface of an unknotted torus in R3. Satellite knot and torus knot are knot theory.

See Satellite knot and Torus knot

In knot theory, the Whitehead link, named for J. H. C. Whitehead, is one of the most basic links. Satellite knot and Whitehead link are knot theory.

See Satellite knot and Whitehead link

3-manifold

In mathematics, a 3-manifold is a topological space that locally looks like a three-dimensional Euclidean space.
