Legendrian non-simple Whitehead doubles of the trefoil

摘要

Ozsváth and Stipsicz showed that some Eliashberg–Chekanov twist knots, which are Whitehead doubles of the unknot, are not Legendrian simple. We extend their result by considering some Whitehead doubles of the trefoil: Using properties of knot Floer homology and the distinguished surgery triangle, we show that this family of knots is Legendrian non-simple in the standard contact 3-sphere.
