Abstract

This article provides the origin story for spectral order, an invariant of contact structures on closed 3-manifolds defined by the authors. This invariant can be thought of as an assignment of a ‘degree of tightness’ to a contact structure. The principal motivation for the development of this invariant was work of Hutchings establishing a filtration on the differential in embedded contact homology. We explain how this filtration may be translated into the language of Heegaard Floer homology.
