Bounds for the Thurston–Bennequin number from Floer homology

Olga Plamenevskaya

Algebraic & Geometric Topology 4 (2004) 399–406

arXiv: math.SG/0311090

Abstract

Using a knot concordance invariant from the Heegaard Floer theory of Ozsváth and Szabó, we obtain new bounds for the Thurston–Bennequin and rotation numbers of Legendrian knots in S3. We also apply these bounds to calculate the knot concordance invariant for certain knots.
