On the equivalence of Legendrian and transverse invariants in knot Floer homology

John A Baldwin, David Shea Vela-Vick and Vera Vértesi

Geometry & Topology 17 (2013) 925–974
Abstract

Using the grid diagram formulation of knot Floer homology, Ozsváth, Szabó and Thurston defined an invariant of transverse knots in the tight contact 3–sphere. Shortly afterwards, Lisca, Ozsváth, Stipsicz and Szabó defined an invariant of transverse knots in arbitrary contact 3–manifolds using open book decompositions. It has been conjectured that these invariants agree where they are both defined. We prove this fact by defining yet another invariant of transverse knots, showing that this third invariant agrees with the two mentioned above.
