review text: The paper under review is to extend a fundamental result of Bennequin-Eliashberg in terms of the knot Floer homology defined by Ozsváth-Szabó. Section 2 begins with the background on the knot Floer homology filtration. The knot Floer chain complex \(CFK^{\infty}(Y, [S], K, {\mathbf s})\) is generated by triples \([x, i, j]\) with \(x\in T_{\alpha}\cap T_{\beta}\), intersections of Lagrangian tori from Heegaard diagrams of the closed oriented 3-manifold \(Y\), and \({\mathbf s} (x) + (i-j)PD (\mu ) = {\mathbf s}_0\) of the meridian \(\mu\) of the knot \(K\) and the \(\text{Spin}^c\) structure \({\mathbf s}_0\) in \(Y_0(K)\). The \({\mathbb Z}\oplus {\mathbb Z}\) filtered chain complex is given by \({\mathcal F}: C_* \to {\mathbb Z}\oplus {\mathbb Z}\) such that \({\mathcal F}(\partial x) \leq {\mathcal F}(x)\) for every \(x\in C_*\), where \({\mathcal F}([x, i, j]) = (i, j)\) and \({\mathcal F}(\sum_k [x_k, i_k, j_k]) = (\max_k i_k, \max_k j_k)\). For instance, \(\hat{CF}(Y, {\mathbf s}) = C_{\mathbf s}\{i=0\}\). For two different Seifert surfaces \(S_+, S_-\) of the knot \(K\) and \(x\in \hat{CF}(Y, {\mathbf s})\), \[ {\mathcal F}_{\mathbf s}^+(x) - {\mathcal F}_{\mathbf s}^- (x) = \tfrac{1}{2}\langle c_1({\mathbf s}), [S_+ - S_-]\rangle, \] for any \(\text{Spin}^c\) structure \({\mathbf s}\). The knot Floer homology groups are given by \[ H_*\left({\mathcal F}_{\mathbf s}(Y, [S], K, m)/ {\mathcal F}_{\mathbf s}(Y, [S], K, m-1)\right) \] and denoted by \(\widehat{HFK}_{\mathbf s}(Y, [S], K, m)\). Note that \(\sum_m \chi \left( \widehat{HFK}_{\mathbf s}(Y, [S], K, m)\right)\cdot T^m = \Delta_K (T)\) the classical Alexander-Conway polynomial. Relative to the subcomplex, \([x]\neq 0 \in \hat{HF}(Y, {\mathbf s})\), one can measure the minimal level in the filtration as \(\tau_{[x]}(Y, [S], K)\) given by the image \(I_m\) induced from the inclusion \(l_m: {\mathcal F}_{\mathbf s} (Y, [S], K, m) \hookrightarrow \hat{CF}(Y, {\mathbf s})\) (see definition 11). Let \({\mathb…
