Algebraic link

In the mathematical field of knot theory, an algebraic link is a link that can be decomposed by Conway spheres into 2-tangles.^[1] Algebraic links are also called arborescent links.^[2] Although algebraic links and algebraic tangles were originally defined by John H. Conway as having two pairs of open ends, they were subsequently generalized to more pairs.^[3]
