In 1997, Chekanov gave the first example of a Legendrian nonsimple knot type: the m(52​) knot. Epstein, Fuchs, and Meyer extended his result by showing that there are at least n different Legendrian representatives with maximal Thurston–Bennequin number of the twist knot K−2n​ with crossing number 2n+1. In this paper we give a complete classification of Legendrian and transverse representatives of twist knots. In particular, we show that K−2n​ has exactly ⌈2n2​⌉ Legendrian representatives with maximal Thurston–Bennequin number, and ⌈2n​⌉ transverse representatives with maximal self-linking number. Our techniques include convex surface theory, Legendrian ruling invariants, and Heegaard–Floer homology.
