Abstract

We introduce a notion of quasi-right-veering for closed braids, which plays an analogous role to right-veering for open books. We show that a transverse link K in a contact 3-manifold (M, xi) is nonloose if and only if every braid representative of K with respect to every open book decomposition that supports (M, xi) is quasi-right-veering. We also show that several definitions of right-veering closed braids are equivalent.
