8_20 is also known as the pretzel knot P(3,-3,2).

Its complement contains no complete totally geodesic immersed surfaces.[citation needed]

Khovanov Homology

The coefficients of the monomials are shown, along with their alternating sums (fixed , alternation over ). The squares with yellow highlighting are those on the "critical diagonals", where or , where 0 is the signature of 8 20. Nonzero entries off the critical diagonals (if any exist) are highlighted in red.
