On the additivity of the Thurston–Bennequin invariant of Legendrian knots

Ichiro Torisu

Vol. 210 (2003), No. 2, 359–365
Abstract

In this article, we consider the maximal value of the Thurston–Bennequin invariant of Legendrian knots which topologically represent a fixed knot type in the standard contact 3-space and we prove a formula of the value under the connected sum operation of knots.
