Convex disks with Legendrian boundary in overtwisted contact 3-manifolds

We classify convex disks with a fixed characteristic foliation and Legendrian boundary, up to contact isotopy relative to the boundary, in every closed overtwisted contact 3-manifold. This classification covers cases where the neighborhood of such a disk is tight or where the boundary violates the Bennequin-Eliashberg inequality. We show that this classification coincides with the formal one, establishing an h-principle for these disks. As a corollary, we deduce that the space of Legendrian unknots that lie in some Darboux ball in a closed overtwisted contact 3-manifold satisfies the h-principle at the level of fundamental groups. Finally, we determine the contact mapping class group of the complement of each Legendrian unknot with non-positive tb invariant in an overtwisted 3-sphere.

A bypass in the middle

We provide a topological characterization for a family of bypasses with a fixed attaching arc to be contractible. This characterization is formulated in terms of the existence of a bypass that is disjoint from the given family away from the attaching region. As an application, we provide new proofs of several h-principles in overtwisted contact 3-manifolds.
