Knots and Contact Geometry

John B. Etnyre, Ko Honda

Published 2000-06-15Version 1

We classify Legendrian torus knots and figure eight knots in the tight contact structure on the 3-sphere up to Legendrian isotopy. As a corollary to this we also obtain the classification of transversal torus knots and figure eight knots up to transversal isotopy.
