In knot theory, the Pentatwist knot, also known as the five-twist knot, or the 72, is one of seven prime knots with crossing number seven. It is the fifth twist knot.

Invariants

Its Alexander polynomial is

Δ ( t ) = 3 t − 5 + 3 t − 1 , {\displaystyle \Delta (t)=3t-5+3t^{-1},\,} {\displaystyle \Delta (t)=3t-5+3t^{-1},\,}

its Conway polynomial is

∇ ( z ) = 3 z 2 + 1 , {\displaystyle \nabla (z)=3z^{2}+1,\,} {\displaystyle \nabla (z)=3z^{2}+1,\,}

and its Jones polynomial is

V ( q ) = − q − 8 + q − 7 − q − 6 + 2 q − 5 − 2 q − 4 + 2 q − 3 − q − 2 + q − 1 . {\displaystyle V(q)=-q^{-8}+q^{-7}-q^{-6}+2q^{-5}-2q^{-4}+2q^{-3}-q^{-2}+q^{-1}.\,} {\displaystyle V(q)=-q^{-8}+q^{-7}-q^{-6}+2q^{-5}-2q^{-4}+2q^{-3}-q^{-2}+q^{-1}.\,}[1]
