abstract

We show that the family of smoothly non-isotopic Legendrian pretzel knots from the work of Cornwell-Ng-Sivek that all have the same Legendrian invariants as the standard unknot have front-spuns that are Legendrian isotopic to the front-spun of the unknot. Besides that, we construct the first examples of Lagrangian concordances between Legendrian knots that are not regular, and hence not decomposable. Finally, we show that the relation of Lagrangian concordance between Legendrian knots is not anti-symmetric, and hence does not define a partial order. The latter two results are based upon a new type of flexibility for Lagrangian concordances with stabilised Legendrian ends.

    In R^{4n+1} with n > 1, there exist pairs of non-isotopic loose Legendrian spheres with Lagrangian concordances in both directions, so Lagrangian concordance is not a partial order.
