Abstract

Letting CC be a compact CωC^\omega-curve embedded in R3\boldsymbol R^3 (CωC^\omega means real analyticity), we consider a CωC^\omega-cuspidal edge ff along CC. When CC is non-closed, in the authors' previous works, the local existence of three distinct cuspidal edges along CC whose first fundamental forms coincide with that of ff was shown, under a certain reasonable assumption on ff. In this paper, if CC is closed, that is, CC is a knot, we show that there exist infinitely many cuspidal edges along CC having the same first fundamental form as that of ff such that their images are non-congruent to each other, in general.
