A Legendrian Thurston-Bennequin bound from Khovanov homology
arXiv:math/0508649 · doi:10.2140/agt.2005.5.1637
Abstract
We establish an upper bound for the Thurston-Bennequin number of a Legendrian link using the Khovanov homology of the underlying topological link. This bound is sharp in particular for all alternating links, and knots with nine or fewer crossings.
