Maximal Thurston–bennequin Number of +adequate Links
The class of +adequate links contains both alternating and positive links. Generalizing results of Tanaka (for the positive case) and Ng (for the alternating case), we construct fronts of an arbitrary +adequate link A so that the diagram has a ruling; therefore its Thurston–Bennequin number is maximal among Legendrian representatives of A. We derive consequences for the Kauffman polynomial and ...
متن کاملMaximal Thurston-bennequin Number of Two-bridge Links
We compute the maximal Thurston-Bennequin number for a Legendrian two-bridge knot or oriented two-bridge link in standard contact R, by showing that the upper bound given by the Kauffman polynomial is sharp. As an application, we present a table of maximal Thurston-Bennequin numbers for prime knots with nine or fewer crossings.
متن کاملOn Arc Index and Maximal Thurston–bennequin Number
We discuss the relation between arc index, maximal Thurston– Bennequin number, and Khovanov homology for knots. As a consequence, we calculate the arc index and maximal Thurston–Bennequin number for all knots with at most 11 crossings. For some of these knots, the calculation requires a consideration of cables which also allows us to compute the maximal self-linking number for all knots with at...
متن کاملOn the Thurston-bennequin Invariant of Graph Divide Links
In the present paper we determine the Thurston-Bennequin invariant of graph divide links, which include all closed positive braids, all divide links and certain negative twist knots. As a corollary of this and a result of P. Lisca and A.I. Stipsicz, we prove that the 3-manifold obtained from S by Dehn surgery along a non-trivial graph divide knot K with coefficient r carries positive, tight con...
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.
