Abstract

We show that every tight contact structure on any of the lens spaces L(ns² - s + 1, s² ) with n = 2 and s = 1 can be obtained by a single Legendrian surgery along a suitable Legendrian realisation of the negative torus knot T (s, -(sn - 1)) in the tight or an overtwisted contact structure on the 3-sphere.
