The plain loop is called the unknot, and all true knots must pass a test of whether they can be untangled into an unknot. View full post on Youtube.
Apr 28, 2021 · R1) We can untwist a loop or twist a loop. R2) We can pass one string over another string to form two crossings or undo this same move. R3) We can slide a piece of string over a crossing. A knot is still the same knot, no matter how many R1, R2, and R3 moves you apply—even if it looks completely different.
A tricky unknot diagram by Morwen Thistlethwaite. In mathematics, the unknotting problem is the problem of algorithmically recognizing the unknot, given some representation of a knot, e.g., a knot diagram. There are several types of unknotting algorithms. A major unresolved challenge is to determine if the problem admits a polynomial time ...
Unknot. In the 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 a knot tied into it, unknotted. To a knot theorist, an unknot is any embedded topological circle in the 3-sphere that is ambient isotopic (that is, deformable) to a ...
The various kinds of knot homologies give certificates of unknottedness of a rather different nature. A knot K is unknotted if and only if H(K) = H(U). In historical order the Seiberg-Witten Floer homology of the zero surgery, Ozsvath-Szabo-Rasmussen knot homology and Khovanov homology are known to detect the unknot.
knots are 3 dimensional and are made of crossing strands of a string. However, a mathe-matical knot, unlike the knots we see in day-to-day life, is composed of a theoretical string, with its two ends attached to one another permanently. The most basic knot in knot theory is known as the "unknot". In its simplest form, the unknot is simply a ring.

Fig. 5 Standard unknot This type of knot is called a standard unknot. Of course we see clearly that a standard unknot is unknotted by just pulling on it, since it has the same structure as a coil of rope that is wound down onto a flat surface. Can one recognize unknots by simply looking for sequences of Reidemeister moves that undo them?
