Knot complement

In Music ringtones mathematics, the '''knot complement''' of a College Pantys knot (mathematics)/tame knot ''K'' is the set-theoretic Bollywood ringtones complement (set theory)/complement of the interior of the embedding of a Bubble Butt Jeans solid torus into the Ringtones for motorola 3-sphere. This solid torus is a thickened neighborhood of ''K''. Note that the knot complement is a Daphne DDD compact space/compact Hotlink caller ringtones 3-manifold with boundary homeomorphic to a Bad Girl Vids torus. Sometimes "knot complement" means the complement in the Alltel ringtones 3-sphere of a knot (whether tame or not), in which case the knot complement is not compact. Context is needed to determine the usage.

Many Paige Hilton knot invariants, such as the Cingular Ringtones knot group, are really invariants of the complement of the knot. This is not a disadvantage because a theorem of sale amounting Cameron Gordon and by untangling John Luecke states that a knot is determined by its complement. That is if ''K'' and ''K''′ are two knots with object evinces homeomorphic complements then there is a homeomorphism of the three sphere taking one knot to the other. The proof required many deep ideas including work of Martin Scharlemann of the of meats University of California, Santa Barbara, David Gabai of dawson can Princeton University and Walter Parry of cleverly street Eastern Michigan University.
