In
knot theory, the 71 knot, also known as the septoil knot, the septafoil knot, or the (7, 2)-torus knot, is one of seven
prime knots with
crossing number seven. It is the simplest
torus knot after the
trefoil and
cinquefoil.
The 71 knot is invertible but not amphichiral. Its Alexander polynomial is
its Conway polynomial is
and its Jones polynomial is
