Braiding Knots in Contact 3-Manifolds

Elena Pavelescu

Published 2009-02-21, updated 2011-01-11Version 2

We show that a transverse link in a contact structure supported by an open book decomposition can be transversely braided. We also generalize Markov's theorem on when the closures of two braids represent (transversely) isotopic links.
