Knotted and linked phase singularities in monochromatic waves
Exact solutions of the Helmholtz equation are constructed, possessing wavefront dislocation lines (phase singularities) in the form of knots or links where the wave function vanishes ('knotted nothings'). The construction proceeds by making a nongeneric structure with a strength n dislocat...
