Generating function polynomials for legendrian links
نویسنده
چکیده
It is shown that, in the 1{jet space of the circle, the swapping and the flyping procedures, which produce topologically equivalent links, can produce nonequivalent legendrian links. Each component of the links considered is legendrian isotopic to the 1{jet of the 0{function, and thus cannot be distinguished by the classical rotation number or Thurston{Bennequin invariants. The links are distinguished by calculating invariant polynomials de ned via homology groups associated to the links through the theory of generating functions. The many calculations of these generating function polynomials support the belief that these polynomials carry the same information as a re ned version of Chekanov’s rst order polynomials which are de ned via the theory of holomorphic curves.

Legendrian Solid-torus Links
Differential graded algebra invariants are constructed for Legendrian links in the 1-jet space of the circle. In parallel to the theory for R, Poincaré–Chekanov polynomials and characteristic algebras can be associated to such links. The theory is applied to distinguish various knots, as well as links that are closures of Legendrian versions of rational tangles. For a large number of two-compon...
متن کاملGenerating family invariants for Legendrian links of unknots
Theory is developed for linear-quadratic at infinity generating families for Legendrian knots in R3 . It is shown that the unknot with maximal Thurston–Bennequin invariant of −1 has a unique linear-quadratic at infinity generating family, up to fiber-preserving diffeomorphism and stabilization. From this, invariant generating family polynomials are constructed for 2–component Legendrian links w...
متن کاملPolynomial Invariants of Legendrian Links and Plane Fronts
We show that the framed versions of the Kauuman and HOMFLY poly-nomials of a Legendrian link in the standard contact 3-space and solid torus are genuine polynomials in the framing variable. This proves a series of conjectures of 5] and provides estimates for the Bennequin{Tabachnikov numbers of such links. In a series of recent papers 1{3], V. I. Arnold revived interest in the study of plane cu...
متن کاملClassification of Legendrian Knots and Links
The aim of this paper is to use computer program to generate and classify Legendrian knots and links. Modifying the algorithm in [11], we write a program in Java to generate all grid diagrams of up to size 10. Since classification of Legendrian links up to Legendrian isotopy is equivalent to grid diagrams modulo a set of Cromwell moves including translation, commutation and X:NE,X:SW (de)stabil...
متن کاملTutte polynomials of wheels via generating functions
We find an explicit expression of the Tutte polynomial of an $n$-fan. We also find a formula of the Tutte polynomial of an $n$-wheel in terms of the Tutte polynomial of $n$-fans. Finally, we give an alternative expression of the Tutte polynomial of an $n$-wheel and then prove the explicit formula for the Tutte polynomial of an $n$-wheel.
