Lutz Twist and Contact Surgery
نویسنده
چکیده
For any knot T transverse to a given contact structure on a 3-manifold, we exhibit a Legendrian two-component link L = L1 t L2 such that T equals the transverse push-off of L1 and contact (+1)surgery on L has the same effect as a Lutz twist along T .

On generalizing Lutz twists
In this note we give a possible generalization of Lutz twist to all dimensions. This reproves the fact that every contact manifold can be given a non-fillable contact structure and also shows great flexibility in the manifolds that can be realized as cores of overtwisted families. We moreover show that R has at least three distinct contact structures.
متن کاملGiroux Torsion and Twisted Coefficients
We explain the effect of applying a full Lutz twist along a pre-Lagrangian torus in a contact 3-manifold, on the contact invariant in Heegaard Floer homology with twisted coefficients. Let (M, ξ) be a contact 3-manifold and T ⊂ M be a pre-Lagrangian torus, i.e., an embedded torus whose characteristic foliation ξL = ξ∩TL is linear. By slightly perturbing T , we may assume that it is linearly fol...
متن کاملSimulation of a New Process Design to Fabricate a Rectangular Twist Waveguide Using Extrusion and a Twist Die
The aim of the present study is to determine the feasibility of making a rectangular twist waveguide used to rotate electromagnetic waves. For this purpose, the process of fabricating an aluminum rectangular twist waveguide was simulated by making use of finite element method and Deform software. The optimum length and angle of the twist die for manufacturing a twist waveguide with inner cross ...
متن کاملContact Structures on 5–manifolds
Using recent work on high dimensional Lutz twists and families of Weinstein structures we show that any almost contact structure on a 5–manifold is homotopic to a contact structure.
متن کاملThe biomechanics of twisting somersaults. Part II: Contact twist.
A simulation model and a rigid body model are used to investigate twisting initiated during the take-off or contact phase. It is shown that it is possible to produce a full twist solely by building up angular momentum in the arms during the contact phase. This method is only half as effective as building up momentum in the whole body during contact. The introduction of twist into a somersault c...
