Cube number can detect chirality and Legendrian type of knots

Geometric Topology 2010-06-25 v1

Abstract

For a knot K the cube number is a knot invariant defined to be the smallest n for which there is a cube diagram of size n for K. We will show that the cube number detects chirality in all cases computed thus far, and distinguishes certain legendrian knots.
