Brunnian link
In knot theory, a branch of topology, a Brunnian link is a nontrivial link that becomes a set of trivial unlinked circles if any one component is removed. In other words, cutting any loop frees all the other loops (so that no two loops can be directly linked).
Brunnian link - Wikipedia Jump to content From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Interlinked multi-loop construction where cutting one loop frees all the others This four-component link is a Brunnian link. In knot theory , a branch of topology , a Brunnian link is a nontrivial link that becomes a set of trivial unlinked circles if any one component is removed. In other words, cutting any loop frees all the other loops (so that no two loops can be directly linked ). The name Brunnian is after Hermann Brunn . Brunn's 1892 article Über Verkettung included examples of such links. Examples [ edit ]
