Conjecture on positive Thurston–Bennequin representatives of fibered knots
Conjecture on positive Thurston–Bennequin representatives of fibered knots
Let be a fibered knot, and let be the contact structure it supports in the sense of Giroux. Positive Thurston–Bennequin conjecture. In , the knot type has Legendrian representatives with Thurston–Bennequin invariant greater than .
This conjecture is motivated by known examples and by the partial result that a non-trivial fibered knot supporting has . The source gives no resolution status.
