Computing the Rabinowitz Floer homology of tentacular hyperboloids

Abstract

We compute the Rabinowitz Floer homology for a class of non-compact hyperboloids ΣSn+k1×Rnk\Sigma\simeq S^{n+k-1}\times\mathbb{R}^{n-k}. Using an embedding of a compact sphere Σ0S2k1\Sigma_0\simeq S^{2k-1} into the hypersurface Σ\Sigma, we construct a chain map from the Floer complex of Σ\Sigma to the Floer complex of Σ0\Sigma_0. In contrast to the compact case, the Rabinowitz Floer homology groups of Σ\Sigma are both non-zero and not equal to its singular homology. As a consequence, we deduce that the Weinstein Conjecture holds for any strongly tentacular deformation of such a hyperboloid.
