Plumbers' knots

arXiv:0811.2215

Abstract

We construct a new type of geometric knot theory, plumbers' knots, and solve the problems of distinguishing and enumerating such knots at a fixed level of complexity. (v2) Minor edits, added theorem 3.18. (v3) Substantial revisions, essentially completely rewritten in places.
