Relative contact homology constructs invariants for Legendrian knots in contact three-manifolds. Originally defined using Floer-theoretic techniques, these invariants can be computed combinatorially in special cases. I'll introduce the combinatorial approach in this talk, focusing particularly on Legendrian knots in lens spaces. |
