| Apr 10, 2015 at 4:57 | comment | added | Ryan Budney | @DelDon: perhaps you meant to ask a slightly different question? Linking numbers is a very coarse way of looking at things -- it fails to distinguish most links. If would be like being a condensed matter physicist and the only physical quantity you understood was viscosity. It gets you somewhere, but not very far, at least, not without a lot of work. | |
| Apr 10, 2015 at 2:33 | comment | added | Jim Conant | @MarcoGolla The linking number cannot distinguish the Hopf link among links with linking number $\pm 1$. | |
