| 单词 | Tait's Knot Conjectures |
| 释义 | Tait's Knot ConjecturesP. G. Tait undertook a study of Knots in response to Kelvin's conjecture that the atoms were composed ofknotted vortex tubes of ether (Thomson 1869). He categorized Knots in terms of the number of crossings ina plane projection. He also made some conjectures which remained unproven until the discovery of JonesPolynomials. Tait's Flyping Conjecture states that the number of crossings is the same for anydiagram of an Alternating Knot. This was proved true in 1986. See also Alternating Knot, Flyping Conjecture, Jones Polynomial, Knot
