Abstract

The main purpose of this paper is to provide an infinite family of counter examples of the open problem mentioned in [2]. In particular, we present an infinite family of a particular Legendrian (4,(2n+5))(4,-(2n+5))-torus knot, for each n0n \geq 0, which has only 1 normal ruling, but do not satisfy the even number of clasps condition of Theorem 3 of [2]. Thus, these normal rulings cannot imply the existence of a decomposable exact Lagrandian filling.
