In knot theory, a branch of mathematics, a pretzel link is a special kind of link. A pretzel link which is also a knot (i.e. a link with one component) is a pretzel knot. In the standard projection of the pretzel link, there are left-handed crossings in the first tangle, in the second, and, in general, in the nth. A pretzel link can also be described as a Montesinos link with integer tangles. ==Some basic results== The pretzel link is a knot iff both and all the are odd or exactly one of the is even.〔Kawauchi, Akio (1996). ''A survey of knot theory''. Birkhäuser. ISBN 3-7643-5124-1〕 The pretzel link is split if at least two of the are zero; but the converse is false. The pretzel link is the mirror image of the pretzel link. The pretzel link is link-equivalent (i.e. homotopy-equivalent in ''S''3) to the pretzel link. Thus, too, the pretzel link is link-equivalent to the pretzel link.〔 The pretzel link is link-equivalent to the pretzel link. However, if one orients the links in a canonical way, then these two links have opposite orientations. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pretzel link」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
