In knot theory, the Kinoshita–Terasaka knot is a particular prime knot. It has 11 crossings.[1] The Kinoshita–Terasaka knot has a variety of interesting mathematical properties.[2] It is related by mutation to the Conway knot,[3] with which it shares a Jones polynomial. It has the same Alexander polynomial as the unknot.[4]
