We represent a Legendrian link $L$ in a contact 3-manifold $(M,\\xi)$ with a diagram $D$, given by an open book decomposition of $(M,\\xi)$ adapted to $L$, and we construct a chain complex $cCFL^-(D)$ with a special cycle in it denoted by $\\mathfrak L(D)$. Then, given two diagrams $D_1$ and $D_2$ which represent Legendrian isotopic links, we prove that there is a map between the corresponding chain complexes, that induces an isomorphism in homology and sends $\\mathfrak L(D_1)$ into $\\mathfrak L(D_2)$. Moreover, a connected sum formula is also proved and we use it to give some applications about non-loose Legendrian links; that are links such that the restriction of $\\xi$ on their complement is tight.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-11-27T02:22:36.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "57M25", "57M27" ], "keywords": [ "open book decomposition", "transverse links", "represent legendrian isotopic links", "chain complex", "non-loose legendrian links" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
