Abstract

A mathematically rigorous approach for combining knot theory with Maxwell's theory of electromagnetism was reported by Werner (see IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society International Symposium Digest, vol.2, p.1468-71, Montreal, Canada, 1997). This analysis methodology was initially used to investigate the electromagnetic characteristics of a special class of knots, known as (p,q)-Torus knots. A convenient set of parametric representations was developed by Werner for this particular family of knots by making use of the fact that they may be constructed on the surface of a standard circular torus in R3. These parameterizations were then used in combination with Maxwell's equations to derive vector potential and field expressions which describe the radiation and scattering of electromagnetic waves from circular (p,q)-Torus knots.
