Notes on the contact Ozsváth–Szabó invariants

Paolo Lisca and András I. Stipsicz

Vol. 228 (2006), No. 2, 277–295
Abstract

We prove various results on contact structures obtained by contact surgery on a single Legendrian knot in the standard contact three-sphere. Our main tools are the contact Ozsváth–Szabó invariants.

Keywords
contact surgery, Legendrian knots, overtwisted contact structures, Ozsváth–Szabó invariants
