The existence of a universal transverse knot

Jesús Rodríguez-Viorato

Algebraic & Geometric Topology 22 (2022) 2187–2237
Abstract

We prove that there is a knot K transverse to ξstd , the tight contact structure of S3, such that every contact 3–manifold (M,ξ) can be obtained as a contact covering branched along K. By contact covering, we mean a map φ: M S3 branched along K such that ξ is contact isotopic to the lifting of ξstd under φ.
