Abstract

It is shown that Legendrian (respectively transverse) cable links in S3 with its standard tight contact structure, i.e. links consisting of an unknot and a cable of that unknot, are classified by their oriented link type and the classical invariants (Thurston–Bennequin invariant and rotation number in the Legendrian case, self-linking number in the transverse case). The analogous result is proved for torus knots in the 1-jet space J1(S1) with its standard tight contact structure.
