Every Reidemeister move is needed for each knot type
Tobias J. Hagge
Abstract
We show that every knot type admits a pair of diagrams that cannot be made identical without using Reidemeister Omega2-moves. We also show that our proof is compatible with known results for the other move types, in the sense that every knot type admits a pair of diagrams that cannot be made identical without using all of the move types.
