Links in overtwisted contact manifolds

Symplectic Geometry 2021-08-17 v2

Abstract

We prove that Legendrian and transverse links in overtwisted contact structures having overtwisted complements can be classified coarsely by their classical invariants. We further prove that any coarse equivalence class of loose links has support genus zero and constructed examples to show that the converse does not hold.
