Title: On right-veering diffeomorphisms and contact class in Heegaard
Floer homology

Abstract: We present an alternate description of the Ozsv\'ath-Szab\'o
contact class in Heegaard Floer homology. Using our description of the
contact class, we prove that if a contact structure $(M,\xi)$ has an
adapted open book decomposition whose page $S$ is a once-punctured torus,
then the monodromy is right-veering if and only if the contact structure
is tight.
