Visit [[[:Template:KnotilusURL]] T(5,2)'s page] at Knotilus! Visit T(5,2)'s page at the original Knot Atlas! An interlaced pentagram, this is 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, or finally as the torus knot T(5,2). When taken off the post the strangle knot (hitch) of practical knot tying deforms to 5_1

The above data is available with the Mathematica package 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.

Khovanov Homology

The coefficients of the monomials $t^{r}q^{j}$ are shown, along with their alternating sums $\chi$ (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.

\   r    \    j   \	0	1	2	3	4	5	χ

13							0
11				1	1		0
