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.

Alexander polynomial of the pretzel knot $P(2m+1,2n,2k+1)$
It seems like the lower half of the Alexander polynomial of the pretzel knot $ P(2m+1,2n,2k+1)$ , up to multiplication by $\pm t^{\alpha}$ , is given by $$ \Delta_{h}(t)= -nt + \sum_{i=2}^{2m+1}(-1 …
