## Abstract The main purpose of this paper is to show that any embedding of __K~7~__ in threeβdimensional euclidean space contains a knotted cycle. By a similar but simpler argument, it is also shown that any embedding of __K~6~__ contains a pair of disjoint cycles which are homologically linked.

A formula for the Jones polynomial of pretzel knots and links is constructed using Kauffman's state model of the Jones polynomial. A computer program in Maple, which is given for calculations of these polynomials is also used to show that an infinite class of pretzel knots with trivial Alexander pol
In our previous work oriented quantum algebras were motivated and introduced in a very natural categorical setting within the context of knots and links, some examples were discussed, and a rudimentary theory of oriented quantum algebras was sketched. Invariants of knots and links can be computed fr
For a graph G, let Ξ be either the set Ξ 1 of cycles of G or the set Ξ 2 of pairs of disjoint cycles of G. Suppose that for each Ξ³ β Ξ , an embedding In this paper, we have the following three results: (1) For the complete graph K 5 on 5 vertices and the complete bipartite graph K 3,3 on 3 + 3 ver
We give a spatial representation of the complete graph K n which contains exactly ( n 6 ) Hopf links consisting of pairs of disjoint 3-cycles, where ( n 6 ) is the minimum number of pairs of disjoint 3-cycles forming a non-split link contained in any spatial representation of K n . Furthermore, we s
