Double bowline a climbing harness and provides more strength and security than the double bowline. Double bowline A double bowline (or round turn bowline) is a type of loop knot. Instead of the single turn of the regular bowline, the double bowline uses a round turn. This forms a more secure loop than a standard bowline. Though called "double bowline" by Clifford Ashley, this name is also reasonably descriptive of a different knot: the bowline on a bight. Because of this ambiguity some sources differentiate by using one of the alternate names above. And at least one other source uses the name
Arf invariant of a knot slice knot is a square integer. As formula_12 is an odd integer, it has to be congruent to 1 modulo 8. Combined with Murasugi's result this shows that the Arf invariant of a slice knot vanishes. Arf invariant of a knot In the mathematical field of knot theory, the Arf invariant of a knot, named after Cahit Arf, is a knot invariant obtained from a quadratic form associated to a Seifert surface. If "F" is a Seifert surface of a knot, then the homology group H("F", Z/2Z) has a quadratic form whose value is the number of full twists mod
