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

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.

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
