Abstract

In this paper, the support genera of all Legendrian right-handed trefoil knots and some other Legendrian knots are computed. We give examples of Legendrian knots in the three-sphere with the standard contact structure which have positive support genera with arbitrarily negative Thurston–Bennequin invariant. This answers a question in [S. Onaran, Invariants of Legendrian knots from open book decompositions, Int. Math. Res. Not.10 (2010) 1831–1859].
