Amphichiral knot
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the mathematical field of knot theory, an amphichiral knot, also called an achiral knot or amphicheiral knot, is an oriented knot equivalent to its mirror image.
An equivalent definition is to state that an amphichiral knot is one which has an orientation-reversing homeomorphism of the 3-sphere to itself fixing the knot.
