Abstract

In this paper, we define the Gordian complex of knots, which is a simplicial complex whose vertices consist of all oriented knot types in the 3-sphere. We show that for any knot K, there exists an infinite family of distinct knots containing K such that any pair (Ki, Kj) of the member of the family, the Gordian distance dG(Ki, Kj) = 1.
