Castle et al., which proves that toroidal embeddings of polyhedra are chiral. Their proof is examined in detail. A possible application of this work, as discussed by the team, would be in molecules which have the structure of a toroidal polyhedral embedding. Various methods of seeking such an example are attempted and discussed.PDF; 53 pgs.Toroidal knotsKnot theoryLow-dimensional topologyChiralityEnantiomersMoleculesThesis
