      [OWR-2013-22] Workshop Report 2013,22 (2013) - (28 Apr - 04 May 2013)
      Geometric knot theory studies relations between geometric properties of a space curve and the knot type it represents. As examples, knotted curves have quadrisecant lines, and have more distortion and more total curvature ...
