In mathematics, in particular knot theory, the Conway knot (or Conway's knot) is a particular knot with 11 crossings, named after John Horton Conway.[1] It is related by mutation to the Kinoshita–Terasaka knot.[2]

The long-unsolved issue of the sliceness of the Conway knot was resolved in 2020 by Lisa Piccirillo.[3][4]
