Knotted sphere

From Encyclopedia of Mathematics - Reading time: 1 min

A non-trivial two-dimensional knot in the 4-dimensional Euclidean space E4; a sphere S2 which cannot be obtained by rotation in E4 of a knotted arc k situated in the half-space E+3 around the plane bounding the half-space. The fundamental group π(E4S2) of a knotted sphere is not a knot group (cf. Knot and link groups).
