Eliminate each knot crossing by connecting each of the strands coming into the crossing to the adjacent strand leaving the crossing. The resulting strands no longer cross but ...

An even number of the form 4n+2 (i.e., an integer which is divisible by 2 but not by 4). The first few for n=0, 1, 2, ... are 2, 6, 10, 14, 18, ... (OEIS A016825)

A polygon whose vertices do not all lie in a plane.

An odd composite number N is called a Somer-Lucas d-pseudoprime (with d>=1) if there exists a nondegenerate Lucas sequence U(P,Q) with U_0=0, U_1=1, D=P^2-4Q, such that ...

A polynomial which is not necessarily an invariant of a link. It is related to the dichroic polynomial. It is defined by the skein relationship ...

Let n be an elliptic pseudoprime associated with (E,P), and let n+1=2^sk with k odd and s>=0. Then n is a strong elliptic pseudoprime when either kP=0 (mod n) or 2^rkP=0 (mod ...

An irregular icosagon, also called the gammadion or fylfot, which symbolized good luck in ancient Arabic and Indian cultures. The mirror image of the above, sometimes called ...

A tubular neighborhood of a submanifold N in M is an embedding of the normal bundle (nu_N) of N into M, i.e., f:nu_N->M, where the image of the zero section of the normal ...

Let a knot K be n-embeddable. Then its tunnel number is a knot invariant which is related to n.

1 uncia=1/(12). The word uncia was Latin for a unit equal to 1/12 of another unit called the as. The words "inch" (1/12 of a foot) and "ounce" (originally 1/12 of a pound and ...
