We characterize cutting arcs on fiber surfaces that produce new fiber surfaces, and the changes in monodromy resulting from such cuts. As a corollary, we characterize band surgeries between fibered links and introduce an operation called…

We extend constructions and results of Damian to get topological obstructions to the existence of closed monotone Lagrangian embeddings into the cotangent bundle of a space which is the total space of a fibration over the circle.

This research announcement continues the study of the symplectic homology of Weinstein manifolds undertaken in [BEE1] where the symplectic homology, as a vector space, was expressed in terms of the Legendrian homology algebra of the…

This is a survey on contact open books and contact Dehn surgery. The relation between these two concepts is discussed, and various applications are sketched, e.g. the monodromy of Stein fillable contact 3-manifolds, the Giroux-Goodman proof…

We classify Legendrian realisations, up to coarse equivalence, of the Hopf link in the lens spaces L(p,1) with any contact structure.

Using convex surfaces and Kanda's classification theorem, we classify Legendrian isotopy classes of Legendrian linear curves in all tight contact structures on $T^3$. Some of the knot types considered in this article provide new examples of…

We introduce a Legendrian invariant built out of the Turaev torsion of generating families. This invariant is defined for a certain class of Legendrian submanifolds of 1-jet spaces, which we call of Euler type. We use our invariant to study…

The existence of closed hypersurfaces of prescribed curvature in globally hyperbolic Lorentzian manifolds is proved provided there are barriers.

In this note we study several aspects of coisotropic submanifolds of a contact manifold. In particular we give a structure theorem for the singularity of the characteristic foliation of a coisotropic submanifold. Moreover we establish the…

Given an L-space knot we show that its Upsilon function is the Legendre transform of a counting function equivalent to the d-invariants of its large surgeries. The unknotting obstruction obtained for the Upsilon function is, in the case of…

A surgery classification theory is introduced for manifolds of bounded geometry up to quasi-isometry. The Borel conjecture for this theory is proven for flat Euclidean space.

Linearized Legendrian contact homology (LCH) and bilinearized LCH are important homological invariants for Legendrian submanifolds in contact geometry. For legendrian knots in $\mathbb{R}^3$, very little was previously known about the…

We give the full classification of smooth toric Legendrian subvarieties in projective space. We also prove that under some minor assumptions the group of linear automorphisms preserving given Legendrian subvariety preserves the contact…

We show the existence of tight contact structures on infinitely many hyperbolic three-manifolds obtained via Dehn surgeries along sections of hyperbolic surface bundles over circle.

This note concerns Legendrian cobordisms in one-jet spaces of functions, in the sense of Arnol'd \cite{Arnold} -- consisting of big Legendrian submanifolds between two smaller ones. We are interested in such cobordisms which fit with…

We prove that each overtwisted contact structure has knot types that are represented by infinitely many distinct transverse knots all with the same self-linking number. In some cases, we can even classify all such knots. We also show…

We use sutured manifold theory, essential laminations and essential branched surfaces to establish the upper bounds of distances between certain types of nonsimple Dehn surgery slopes. This is the revised version of an earlier preprint {\it…

Let $\Lambda, \Lambda'$ be a pair of closed Legendrian submanifolds in a closed contact manifold $(Y, \xi = Ker(\alpha))$ related by a Legendrian cobordism $W\subset (\mathbb{C}\times Y, \tilde{\xi}=Ker(-y dx +\alpha))$. In this note, we…

Let $\Lambda$ be a link of Legendrian spheres in the boundary of a subcritical $2n$-dimensional Weinstein manifold $X$. We show that, under some geometrical assumptions, the computation of the Legendrian contact homology of $\Lambda$ can be…

We show that any knot which is smoothly the closure of a 3-braid cannot be Lagrangian concordant to and from the maximum Thurston-Bennequin Legendrian unknot except the unknot itself. Our obstruction comes from drawing the Weinstein…
