Handle attaching in symplectic homology and the Chord Conjecture

Kai Cieliebak (2002)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Arnold conjectured that every Legendrian knot in the standard contact structure on the 3-sphere possesses a haracteristic chord with respect to any contact form. I confirm this conjecture if the know has Thurston-Bennequin invariant 1 . More generally, existence of chords is proved for a standard Legendrian unknot on the boundary of a subcritical Stein manifold of any dimension. There is also a multiplicity result which implies in some situations existence of infinitely many chords. The proof relies...

Heegaard and regular genus of 3-manifolds with boundary.

P. Cristofori, C. Gagliardi, L. Grasselli (1995)

Revista Matemática de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid

By means of branched coverings techniques, we prove that the Heegaard genus and the regular genus of an orientable 3-manifold with boundary coincide.

Heegaard splittings of the pair of solid torus and the core loop.

Chuichiro Hayashi, Koya Shimokawa (2001)

Revista Matemática Complutense

We show that any Heegaard splitting of the pair of the solid torus (≅D2xS1) and its core loop (an interior point xS1) is standard, using the notion of Heegaard splittings of pairs of 3-manifolds and properly imbedded graphs, which is defined in this paper.

High-dimensional knots corresponding to the fractional Fibonacci groups

Andrzej Szczepański, Andreĭ Vesnin (1999)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We prove that the natural HNN-extensions of the fractional Fibonacci groups are the fundamental groups of high-dimensional knot complements. We also give some characterization and interpretation of these knots. In particular we show that some of them are 2-knots.
