摘要
n-Borromean links are nontrivial links in which n rings, n greater than or equal to 3, are combined in such a way that any two component rings form a trivial link. The symmetry of links with n = 3 is discussed, and it is shown that such links form a variety of series whose members are different isotopy types. Examples are adduced of 3-Borromean links that are topologically chiral. Novel constructions are described of n-Borromean links with and without at least one nontrivial sublink.
