A list of prime knots refers to a classification of knots in the field of topology, specifically knot theory. In knot theory, a knot is typically defined as a loop in three-dimensional space that does not intersect itself. Knots can be composed in various ways, and when a knot cannot be decomposed into simpler knots (i.e., cannot be divided into two non-trivial knots that are linked together), it is referred to as a "prime knot.
