One of the simplest non-trivial knots (see Fig. and Knot theory). A Listing knot is denoted by the symbol $4_1$ (see Knot table) and is sometimes called a figure 8 or fourfold knot. The group of the Listing knot (cf. Knot and link groups) has the presentation $|x,y\colon yx^{-1}yxy^{-1}=x^{-1}yxy^{-1}x|$, and the Alexander polynomial is $\Delta_1=t^2-3t+1$. It was considered by I.B. Listing [1].
