| Edit T(5,2) Quick Notes
Known variously as "The Cinquefoil Knot", after certain herbs and shrubs of the rose family which have 5-lobed leaves and 5-petaled flowers (see e.g. [4]), as "The Pentafoil Knot" (visit Bert Jagers' pentafoil page), as the "Double Overhand Knot", as 5_1, and finally as the torus knot T(5,2). |

KnotTheory`, as shown in the (simulated) Mathematica session below. Your input (in red) is realistic; all else should have the same content as in a real mathematica session, but with different formatting. This Mathematica session is also available (albeit only for the knot 5_2) as the notebook PolynomialInvariantsSession.nb.

[edit] Khovanov Homology
| The coefficients of the monomials trqj are shown, along with their alternating sums χ (fixed j, alternation over r). The squares with yellow highlighting are those on the "critical diagonals", where j−2r = s + 1 or j−2r = s−1, where s = 4 is the signature of T(5,2). Nonzero entries off the critical diagonals (if any exist) are highlighted in red. |
