Negative contact surgery on Legendrian non-simple knots
Published 1 May 2024 in math.GT | (2405.00855v1)
Abstract: We prove that for any pair of Legendrian representatives of the Chekanov-Eliashberg twist knots with different LOSS invariants, any negative rational contact $r$-surgery with $r\neq -1$ always gives rise to different contact 3-manifolds distinguished by their contact invariants. This gives the first examples of pairs ofLegendrian knots with the same classical invariants but distinct contact $r$-surgeries for all negative rational number $r$. We also generalize the statement from the twist knots to a certain families of two bridge knots.
