Loose Legendrian embeddings in high dimensional contact manifolds

Symplectic Geometry 2019-03-13 v5

Abstract

We give an hh--principle type result for a class of Legendrian embeddings in contact manifolds of dimension at least 55. These Legendrians, referred to as loose, have trivial pseudo-holomorphic invariants. We demonstrate they are classified up to Legendrian isotopy by their smooth isotopy class equipped with an almost complex framing. This result is inherently high dimensional: analogous results in dimension 33 are false.
