Rima Chatterjee, John B. Etnyre, Hyunki Min, Anubhav Mukherjee

TL;DR
This paper establishes criteria for the existence of non-loose Legendrian and transverse knots in overtwisted contact structures, classifies non-loose rational unknots in lens spaces, and explores how non-looseness behaves under cabling.
Contribution
It provides necessary and sufficient conditions for non-loose knots, classifies all non-loose rational unknots in lens spaces, and analyzes the preservation of non-looseness under cabling.

Abstract
In this paper we give necessary and sufficient conditions for a knot type to admit non-loose Legendrian and transverse representatives in some overtwisted contact structure, classify all non-loose rational unknots in lens spaces, and discuss conditions under which non-looseness is preserved under cabling.
