Bennequin type inequalities in lens spaces

Geometric Topology 2011-11-11 v3

Abstract

We give criteria for an invariant of lens space links to bound the maximal self-linking number in certain tight contact lens spaces. As a corollary we extend the Franks-Williams-Morton inequality to the setting of lens spaces.
