Legendrian graphs and quasipositive diagrams
Annales de la Faculté des sciences de Toulouse : Mathématiques, Série 6, Tome 18 (2009) no. 2, pp. 285-305.

Nous étudions ici la relation entre les surfaces de ruban associées aux graphs legendriens et les diagrammes quasi-positifs. Comme application, nous donnons une preuve élémentaire qu’une surface fibrée est quasi-positive, si et seulement si elle porte la structure de contact standard dans S 3 . Nous répondons aussi à une question de L. Rudolph concernant les mouvements des surfaces quasi-positives

In this paper we clarify the relationship between ribbon surfaces of Legendrian graphs and quasipositive diagrams by using certain fence diagrams. As an application, we give an alternative proof of a theorem concerning a relationship between quasipositive fiber surfaces and contact structures on S 3 . We also answer a question of L. Rudolph concerning moves of quasipositive diagrams.
