Introduction Linking and Knotting Other <strong>Intrinsic</strong> <strong>Properties</strong> ConclusionLinking in RP 3Definition (Foisy et. al.*, 2008)An embedding <strong>of</strong> a graph G in a 3-manifold M is unlinked if forevery pair <strong>of</strong> disjoint cycles L 1 and L 2 , both cycles are unknotsand there is a 3-ball A such that L 1 ⊂ A and L 2 ⊂ A c .In particular, in RP 3 , there are two types <strong>of</strong> unknot: one ishomologically trivial, and the other is not.Blake Mellor<strong>Intrinsic</strong> <strong>Properties</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Spatial</strong> <strong>Graphs</strong>
