Knot theory is dealing with embedding of curves in manifolds of dimension 3. A knot is a single circle embedded in the affine space of dimension 3 as a smooth curve not crossing itself. Many knot invariants are known and can be used to distinguish knots.

Infinite family of different prime knots with trivial Alexander polynomial
I am looking for infinite families of prime knots that have all Alexander polynomial equals to 1. I wrote "families" (and not "family") since perhaps there are different constructions out there.
Moreo …

Reshuffling power series (aka Melvin–Morton expansion in knot theory)
I am struggling to understand a statement which follows from some change of variables in a power series. I think that the context does not really matter here, so I will put it at the end of the questi …

Infinite family of different prime knots with trivial Alexander polynomial
Another family of examples is given by the "generalised Kinoshita-Terasaka" knots, here is a picture from Lickorish' "An introduction to Knot Theory".
Here $d$ is assumed to be even. Of course, this …
