In this note, we define a new invariant of a Legendrian knot in a contact 3-manifold using an open book decomposition supporting the contact structure. We define the support genus sg(L) of a Legendrian knot L in a contact 3-manifold (M, xi) as the minimal genus of a page of an open book of M supporting the contact structure xi such that L sits on a page and the framings given by the contact structure and the page agree. We show that any null-homologous loose knot in an overtwisted contact structure has support genus zero. To prove this, we show that any topological link in any 3-manifold M sits on a page of a planar open book decomposition of M.

NOTE ON OVERTWISTED CONTACT STRUCTURES Yılmaz, Elif (Akademiai Kiado Zrt., 2011-03-01) In this note, we use the recent work of Honda-Kazez-Matic [3] to prove that a closed contact 3-manifold admitting a compatible open book decomposition with a nontrivial monodromy which can be presented as a product of left handed Dehn twists is overtwisted.
NONCOMMUTATIVE MACKEY THEOREM Dosi, Anar (World Scientific Pub Co Pte Lt, 2011-04-01) In this note we investigate quantizations of the weak topology associated with a pair of dual linear spaces. We prove that the weak topology admits only one quantization called the weak quantum topology, and that weakly matrix bounded sets are precisely the min-bounded sets with respect to any polynormed topology compatible with the given duality. The technique of this paper allows us to obtain an operator space proof of the noncommutative bipolar theorem.
Canonical contact structures on some singularity links Bhupal, Mohan Lal (Wiley, 2014-06-01) We identify the canonical contact structure on the link of a simple elliptic or cusp singularity by drawing a Legendrian handlebody diagram of one of its Stein fillings. We also show that the canonical contact structure on the link of a numerically Gorenstein surface singularity is trivial considered as a real plane bundle.
ON THE CLASSIFICATION OF CERTAIN PLANAR CONTACT STRUCTURES Arıkan, Mehmet Fırat (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2012-03-01) We focus on contact structures supported by planar open book decompositions. We study right-veering diffeomorphisms to keep track of overtwistedness property of contact structures under some monodromy changes. As an application we give infinitely many examples of overtwisted contact structures supported by open books whose pages are the four-punctured sphere, and also we prove that a certain family is Stein fillable using lantern relation.
On quasi-compactness of operator nets on Banach spaces Emelyanov, Eduard (Institute of Mathematics, Polish Academy of Sciences, 2011-01-01) The paper introduces a notion of quasi-compact operator net on a Banach space. It is proved that quasi-compactness of a uniform Lotz-Rabiger net (T(lambda))(lambda) is equivalent to quasi-compactness of some operator T(lambda). We prove that strong convergence of a quasi-compact uniform Lotz-Rabiger net implies uniform convergence to a finite-rank projection. Precompactness of operator nets is also investigated.
