Bounds for the Thurston-Bennequin number from Floer homology

Symplectic Geometry 2014-10-01 v2 Geometric Topology

Abstract

Using a knot concordance invariant from the Heegaard Floer theory of Ozsvath and Szabo, we obtain new bounds for the Thurston-Bennequin and rotation numbers of Legendrian knots in S^3. We also apply these bounds to calculate the knot concordance invariant for certain knots.
