Generalised Thurston-bennequin Invariants for Real Algebraic Surface Singularities
نویسنده
چکیده
A generalised Thurston-Bennequin invariant for a Q-singularity of a real algebraic variety is defined as a linking form on the homologies of the real link of the singularity. The main goal of this paper is to present a method to calculate the linking form in terms of the very good resolution graph of a real normal unibranch singularity of a real algebraic surface. For such singularities, the value of the linking form is the Thurston-Bennequin number of the real link of the singularity. As a special case of unibranch surface singularities, the behaviour of the linking form is investigated on the Brieskorn double points xm + yn ± z = 0.

Classical invariants of Legendrian knots in the 3-dimensional torus
All knots in R3 possess Seifert surfaces, and so the classical Thurston-Bennequin invariant for Legendrian knots in a contact structure on R 3 can be defined. The definitions extend easily to null-homologous knots in a 3-manifold M endowed with a contact structure ξ. We generalize the definition of Seifert surfaces and use them to define the Thurston-Bennequin invariant for all Legendrian knots...
متن کاملA New Way to Compute the Thurston-bennequin Number
We establish a relation between several easy-to-calculate numerical invariants of generic knots in H × S, and use it to give a new method of computing the Thurston-Bennequin number of Legendrian knots in the tight contact R.
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...
متن کاملRational Linking and Contact Geometry
In the note we study Legendrian and transverse knots in rationally null-homologous knot types. In particular we generalize the standard definitions of self-linking number, Thurston-Bennequin invariant and rotation number. We then prove a version of Bennequin’s inequality for these knots and classify precisely when the Bennequin bound is sharp for fibered knot types. Finally we study rational un...
متن کاملEffective Methods to Compute the Topology of Real Algebraic Surfaces with Isolated Singularities
Given a real algebraic surface S in RP3, we propose a constructive procedure to determine the topology of S and to compute non-trivial topological invariants for the pair (RP3, S) under the hypothesis that the real singularities of S are isolated. In particular, starting from an implicit equation of the surface, we compute the number of connected components of S, their Euler characteristics and...
