Invariants of Knots, Embeddings and Immersions via Contact Geometry
Tobias Ekholm, John B. Etnyre
This paper is an overview of the idea of using contact geometry to construct invariants of immersions and embeddings. In particular, it discusses how to associate a contact manifol…

Planar open book decompositions and contact structures
John B. Etnyre
In this note we observe that while all overtwisted contact structures on compact 3--manifolds are supported by planar open book decompositions, not all contact structures are. This…
