The goal of this talk will be to define loose Legendrian knots in high dimensions, and state their classification. No prior knowledge of contact topology will be assumed; we will start by defining and drawing pictures of Legendrian knots in high dimensions. We will then define what it means for a Legendrian to be loose, and prove some of their basic existence properties, such as their C^0 density and their existence in any formal isotopy class. We will then state their classification up to Legendrian isotopy, and discuss various applications of their classification to high dimensional symplectic/contact topology. Time permitting, we will contrast with the 3-dimensional setting, and present some relevant open questions.
