Three dimensional invariants

Symmetry type Negative amphicheiral
Unknotting number 1
3-genus 3
Bridge index 3
Super bridge index 4
Nakanishi index 1
Maximal Thurston-Bennequin number [-5][-5]
Hyperbolic Volume 10.9859
A-Polynomial See Data:8 17/A-polynomial

[edit Notes for 8 17's three dimensional invariants] 8_17 is the first negatively amphicheiral knot in the Rolfsen Table. Namely, it is equal to the inverse of its mirror, yet it is different from both its inverse and its mirror.

Four dimensional invariants

Smooth 4 genus 1
Topological 4 genus 1
Concordance genus 3
Rasmussen s-Invariant 0
