Intrinsic knotting and linking of complete graphs

Erica Flapan

Algebraic & Geometric Topology 2 (2002) 371–380

arXiv: math.GT/0205231

Abstract

We show that for every m , there exists an n such that every embedding of the complete graph Kn in 3 contains a link of two components whose linking number is at least m. Furthermore, there exists an r such that every embedding of Kr in 3 contains a knot Q with |a2(Q)| m, where a2(Q) denotes the second coefficient of the Conway polynomial of Q.
