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…

Tight contact structures with no symplectic fillings
John B. Etnyre, Ko Honda
We exhibit tight contact structures on 3-manifolds that do not admit any symplectic fillings.

Knots and Contact Geometry
John B. Etnyre, Ko Honda
We classify Legendrian torus knots and figure eight knots in the tight contact structure on the 3-sphere up to Legendrian isotopy. As a corollary to this we also obtain the classif…

On the non-existence of tight contact structures
John B. Etnyre, Ko Honda
We exhibit a 3-manifold which admits no tight contact structure.
