Topologically Trivial Legendrian Knots
This paper deals with topologically trivial Legendrian knots in tight and overtwisted contact 3-manifolds. The first parts (Sections 1-3) contain a thorough exposition of the proof of the classification of topologically trivial Legendrian knots (i.e. Legendrian knots bounding embedded 2-disks) in tight contact 3-manifolds (Theorem 1.7), and, in particular, in the standard contact S. These parts...
متن کاملLegendrian and Transversal Knots
Contact structures on manifolds and Legendrian and transversal knots in them are very natural objects, born over two centuries ago, in the work of Huygens, Hamilton and Jacobi on geometric optics and work of Lie on partial differential equations. They touch on diverse areas of mathematics and physics, and have deep connections with topology and dynamics in low dimensions. The study of Legendria...
متن کاملLegendrian Conormals of 2-Knots
LetK be a 2-knot. The conormal Lift ΛK ofK is a Legendrian submanifold in the unit cotangent bundle U∗R4. One can use Legendrian homology on ΛK to define an invariant of K which is a differential graded algebra partly generated by the Reeb chords of ΛK . We try to count and specify these Reeb chords by describing the conormal lifts, of 2-knots given as closed 2dimensional braids, as 1-jet graph...
متن کاملNew Invariants of Legendrian Knots
We discuss two different ways to construct new invariants of Legendrian knots in the standard contact R. These invariants are defined combinatorially, in terms of certain planar projections, and (sometimes) allow to distinguish Legendrian knots which are not Legendrian isotopic but have the same classical invariants.
متن کاملLegendrian and Transverse Twist Knots
In 1997, Chekanov gave the first example of a Legendrian nonsimple knot type: the m(52) knot. Epstein, Fuchs, and Meyer extended his result by showing that there are at least n different Legendrian representatives with maximal Thurston–Bennequin number of the twist knot K−2n with crossing number 2n+1. In this paper we give a complete classification of Legendrian and transverse representatives o...
