Cabling and Transverse Simplicity
نویسنده
چکیده
We study Legendrian knots in a cabled knot type. Specifically, given a topological knot type K, we analyze the Legendrian knots in knot types obtained from K by cabling, in terms of Legendrian knots in the knot type K. As a corollary of this analysis, we show that the (2, 3)-cable of the (2, 3)-torus knot is not transversely simple and moreover classify the transverse knots in this knot type. This is the first classification of transverse knots in a non-transversely-simple knot type. We also classify Legendrian knots in this knot type and exhibit the first example of a Legendrian knot that does not destabilize, yet its Thurston-Bennequin invariant is not maximal among Legendrian representatives in its knot type.

Studying Uniform Thickness I: Legendrian Simple Iterated Torus Knots
We prove that the class of topological knot types that are both Legendrian simple and satisfy the uniform thickness property (UTP) is closed under cabling. An immediate application is that all iterated cabling knot types that begin with negative torus knots are Legendrian simple. We also examine, for arbitrary numbers of iterations, iterated cablings that begin with positive torus knots, and es...
متن کاملStructured Cabling System (SCS)
An SCS consists of an open architecture, standardized media and layout, standard connection interfaces, adherence to national and international standards, and total system design and installation. Other than the structured cabling system, voice, data, video, and building management systems (BMS) have nothing in common except similar transmission characteristics (analog or digital data signals) ...
متن کاملA cabling formula for the colored Jones polynomial
We prove an explicit cabling formula for the colored Jones polynomial. As an application we prove the volume conjecture for all zero volume knots and links, i.e. all knots and links that are obtained from the unknot by repeated cabling and connected sum.
متن کاملCabling Burau Representation
The Burau representation enables to define many other representations of the braid group Bn by the topological operation of “cabling braids”. We show here that these representations split into copies of the Burau representation itself and of a representation of Bn/(Pn, Pn). In particular, we show that there is no gain in terms of faithfulness by cabling the Burau representation.
متن کاملHeegaard Floer Invariants and Cabling
HEEGAARD FLOER INVARIANTS AND CABLING Jennifer Hom Paul Melvin, Advisor A natural question in knot theory is to ask how certain properties of a knot behave under satellite operations. We will focus on the satellite operation of cabling, and on Heegaard Floertheoretic properties. In particular, we will give a formula for the Ozsváth-Szabó concordance invariant τ of iterated cables of a knot K in...
