✦ Synopsis

This paper gives an elementary and self-contained proof of Conway's Basic Theorem on rational tangles. This theorem states that two rational tangles are topologically equivalent if and only if they have the same associated rational fraction. Our proof divides into a geometric half that relates the arithmetic of continued fractions to the topology of tangles and an algebraic part that defines the fraction of any tangle via the bracket model for the Jones polynomial. We present an application to molecular biology.

Let (B, T) be an n string tangle, E(T) the exterior cl(B --N(T)) and P the punctured sphere cl(aB -N(T)). The tangle (B, T) is called atomic if it does not contain a nonsplit tangle with k < n essentially. For a string s of T the surface T(s) = PU (E(T) nN( s)) is said to be obtained by performing a
