Abstract
A link of an isolated singularity of a two-dimensional semialgebraic surface in is a knot (or a link) in . Thus the ambient Lipschitz classification of surface singularities in can be interpreted as a bi-Lipschitz refinement of the topological classification of knots (or links) in . We show that, given a knot in , there are infinitely many distinct ambient Lipschitz equivalence classes of outer metric Lipschitz equivalent singularities in with the links topologically equivalent to .
