Prime knot
In knot theory, a prime knot or prime link is a knot that is, in a certain sense, indecomposable. Specifically, it is a non-trivial knot which cannot be written as the knot sum of two non-trivial knots. Knots that are not prime are said to be composite knots or composite links. It can be a nontrivial problem to determine whether a given knot is prime or not.
A nice family of examples of prime knots are the torus knots. These are formed by wrapping a circle around a torus ''p'' times in one direction and ''q'' times in the other, where ''p'' and ''q'' are coprime integers.
The simplest prime knot is the trefoil with three crossings. The trefoil is actually a (2, 3)-torus knot. The figure-eight knot, with four crossings, is the simplest non-torus knot. For any positive integer ''n'', there are a finite number of prime knots with ''n'' crossings. The first few values are given in the following table.
Note that enantiomorphs are counted only once in this table and the following chart (i.e. a knot and its mirror image are considered equivalent).
==Schubert's theorem==
A theorem due to Horst Schubert states that every knot can be uniquely expressed as a connected sum of prime knots.〔Schubert, H. "Die eindeutige Zerlegbarkeit eines Knotens in Primknoten". ''S.-B Heidelberger Akad. Wiss. Math.-Nat. Kl.'' 1949 (1949), 57–104.〕
