We present an atlas of Legendrian knots in standard contact three-space. This gives a conjectural Legendrian classification for all knots with arc index at most 9, including alternating knots through 7 crossings and nonalternating knots through 9 crossings. Our method involves a computer search of grid diagrams and app…

We define a new algebraic structure called Legendrian racks or racks with Legendrian structure, motivated by the front-projection Reidemeister moves for Legendrian knots. We provide examples of Legendrian racks and use these algebraic structures to define invariants of Legendrian knots with explicit computational examp…

The study finds non-simple isotopy classes of links in 3-manifolds, including Legendrian and pseudo-Legendrian examples.

problem Characterizing isotopy classes of links in 3-manifolds, especially in contact structures.

result Non-simple isotopy classes of links exist, including Legendrian and pseudo-Legendrian examples.

An elementary stabilization of a Legendrian link LL in the spherical cotangent bundle STMST^*M of a surface MM is a surgery that results in attaching a handle to MM along two discs away from the image in MM of the projection of the link LL. A virtual Legendrian isotopy is a composition of stabilizations, destabiliz…

The Legendrian product of two Legendrian knots, as defined by Lambert-Cole, is a Legendrian torus. We show that this Legendrian torus is a twist spun whenever one of the Legendrian knot components is sufficiently large. We then study examples of Legendrian products which are not Legendrian isotopic to twist spuns. In o…

In this paper, we formulate a new local move on virtual knot diagram, called arc shift move. Further, we extend it to another local move called region arc shift defined on a region of a virtual knot diagram. We establish that these arc shift and region arc shift moves are unknotting operations by showing that any virtu…

We investigate Legendrian graphs in (R3,ξstd)(\R^3, ξ_{std}). We extend the classical invariants, Thurston-Bennequin number and rotation number to Legendrian graphs. We prove that a graph can be Legendrian realized with all its cycles Legendrian unknots with tb=1tb=-1 and rot=0rot=0 if and only if it does not contain K4K_4 as a mi…

Associated to Legendrian links in the standard contact three-space, Ruling polynomials are Legendrian isotopy invariants, which also compute augmentation numbers, that is, the points-counting of augmentation varieties for Legendrian links (up to a normalized factor) \cite{HR15}. In this article, we generalize this pict…

method Complete coarse classification using Legendrian knot theory.
result First classification result about exceptional Legendrian representatives for Hopf link connected sums.

In this paper we study Legendrian knots in the knot types of satellite knots. In particular, we classify Legendrian Whitehead patterns and learn a great deal about Legendrian braided patterns. We also show how the classification of Legendrian patterns can lead to a classification of the associated satellite knots if th…

It is shown that the projection image of an oriented spatial arc to any oriented plane is approximated by a unique arc diagram (up to isomorphic arc diagrams) determined from the spatial arc and the projection. In a separated paper, the knotting probability of an arc diagram is defined as an invariant under isomorphic …

result Found new phenomena of stabilized Legendrian links that are smoothly isotopic but not Legendrian isotopic.

The Gronwall conjecture states that a planar 3-web of foliations which admits more than one distinct linearizations is locally equivalent to an algebraic web. We propose an analogue of the Gronwall conjecture for the 3-web of foliations by Legendrian curves in a contact three manifold. The Legendrian Gronwall conjectur…

In this paper Legendrian graphs in (R3,ξst)(\mathbb{R}^3,ξ_{\mathrm{st}}) are considered modulo Legendrian isotopy and edge contraction. To a Legendrian graph we associate a (generalized) rectangular diagram --- a purely combinatorial object. Moves of rectangular diagrams are introduced so that equivalence classes of Legendr…

The problem of classification of Legendrian knots (links) up to isotopy in the class of Legendrian embeddings (Legendrian isotopy) naturally leads to the following two subproblems. The first of them is: which combinations of the three classical invariants can be realized by a Legendrian knot? (It is well-known that eac…

The surgery unknotting number of a Legendrian link is defined as the minimal number of particular oriented surgeries that are required to convert the link into a Legendrian unknot. Lower bounds for the surgery unknotting number are given in terms of classical invariants of the Legendrian link. The surgery unknotting nu…
