Quasi-right-veering braids and nonloose links

Tetsuya Ito and Keiko Kawamuro

Algebraic & Geometric Topology 19 (2019) 2989–3032
Abstract

We introduce a notion of quasi-right-veering for closed braids, which plays an analogous role to right-veering for open books. We show that a transverse link K in a contact 3–manifold (M,ξ) is nonloose if and only if every braid representative of K with respect to every open book decomposition that supports (M,ξ) is quasi-right-veering. We also show that several definitions of right-veering closed braids are equivalent.

Keywords
quasi-right-veering, loose transverse knots
