Extract

Throughout this paper we work in the smooth category and assume that all knots are oriented and consider two knots K1 and K2 to be equivalent if and only if there is an orientation preserving homeomorphism h:S3S3 which carries K1 onto K2 so that their orientations match. We write K1K2 if K1 and K2 are equivalent and – K denotes the knot obtained from K by inverting its orientation.
