Abstract

Here we give a definition of infinite connected sum of tame knots and define a C-wild knot to be an infinite connected sum of tame knots whose wild points form a Cantor set. We further give a classification of C-wild knots in terms of Wilder knots, which are infinite connected sums of tame knots with one wild point.
