mathematical theory of knots, the
unknot, not knot, or
trivial knot, is the
least knotted of all knots. Intuitively, the
unknot is a
closed loop of rope without...

distinguishes the
trefoil from the
unknot. The
simplest such
invariant is tricolorability: the
trefoil is tricolorable, but the
unknot is not. In addition, virtually...
