Periodic Reeb flows and products in symplectic homology

Symplectic Geometry 2019-10-29 v2

Abstract

In this paper, we explore the structure of Rabinowitz--Floer homology RFHRFH_* on contact manifolds whose Reeb flow is periodic (and which satisfy an index condition such that RFHRFH_* is independent of the filling). The main result is that RFHRFH_* is a module over the Laurent polynomials Z2[s,s1]\mathbb{Z}_2[s,s^{-1}], where ss is the homology class generated by a principal Reeb orbit and the module structure is given by the pair-of-pants product. In most cases, this module is free and finitely generated.
