The contact homology of Legendrian knots with maximal Thurston-Bennequin invariant

Abstract

We show that there exists a Legendrian knot with maximal Thurston-Bennequin invariant whose contact homology is trivial. We also provide another Legendrian knot which has the same knot type and classical invariants but nonvanishing contact homology.
