Building homology theories (ala Floer)

John B. Etnyre

These notes are an expanded version of evening talks at the 2025 Georgia International Topology Conference, and an abbreviated version of talks at Georgia Tech, which were aimed at…

Neighborhoods of transverse knots and destabilizations

John B. Etnyre

In this note, we show that transverse knots have unique standard neighborhoods and prove a structure theorem about non-loose Legendrian knots. We also prove a finiteness result for…

Submanifolds in contact geometry

John B. Etnyre

We survey what is known about various special types of submanifolds of contact manifolds and discuss their role in the development of contact geometry.

Cable links of uniformly thick knot types

Rima Chatterjee, John B. Etnyre, Hyunki Min +1

In this paper, we study Legendrian realizations of cable links of knot types that are uniformly thick but not Legendrian simple, extending prior work of Dalton, the second author,…

Complementary legs and symplectic rational balls

John B. Etnyre, Burak Ozbagci, Bülent Tosun

We show that a small Seifert fibered space with complementary legs does not symplectically bound a rational homology ball for at least one choice of orientation. In the case $e_0\l…

Tight and overtwisted contact structures

John B. Etnyre

The tight versus overtwisted dichotomy has been an essential organizing principle and driving force in 3-dimensional contact geometry since its inception around 1990. In this artic…
