We prove several interpolation results for holomorphic Legendrian curves lying in an odd dimensional complex Euclidean space with the standard contact structure. In particular, we show that an arbitrary countable set of points in…

Anti-de Sitter space is the Lorentzian space form with negative curvature. In this paper we consider lightlike hypersurfaces along spacelike submanifolds in anti-de Sitter space with general codimension. In particular, we investigate the…

In two previous papers, the two first-named authors introduced a notion of contact r-surgery along Legendrian knots in contact 3-manifolds. They also showed how (at least in principle) to convert any contact r-surgery into a sequence of…

We give topological obstructions to the existence of a closed exact Lagrangian submanifold in the cotangent bundle of a closed manifold M which is the total space of a fibration over the circle. For instance we show that the fundamental…

In this paper, via h-principle we prove that there exist contractible positive loops of Legendrian embeddings based at any loose Legendrian submanifold. As an application, we define a new partial order on $\widetilde{Cont}_0(M,\xi)$ and…

We describe several families of Lagrangian submanifolds in the complex Euclidean space which are H-minimal, i.e. critical points of the volume functional restricted to Hamiltonian variations. We make use of various constructions involving…

Embedded Lagrangian cobordisms between Legendrian submanifolds are produced from isotopy, spinning, and handle attachment constructions that employ the technique of generating families. Moreover, any Legendrian with a generating family has…

In any contact manifold of dimension $2n-1\geq 11$, we construct examples of closed legendrian submanifolds which are not diffeomorphic but whose lagrangian cylinders in the symplectization are hamiltonian isotopic.

The cosmetic surgery conjecture is a longstanding conjecture in 3-manifold theory. We present a theorem about exceptional cosmetic surgery for homology spheres. Along the way we prove that if the surgery is not a small seifert…

In this note, we first introduce a boundary problem for Lagrangian submanifolds, analogous to the problem for free boundary hypersurfaces and capillary hypersurfaces. Then we present several interesting examples of Lagrangian submanifolds…

Surgery on a knot in $S^3$ is said to be an alternating surgery if it yields the double branched cover of an alternating link. The main theoretical contribution is to show that the set of alternating surgery slopes is algorithmically…

Unlike Legendrian submanifolds, the deformation problem of coisotropic submanifolds can be obstructed. Starting from this observation, we single out in the contact setting the special class of integral coisotropic submanifolds as the direct…

We define an invariant of Legendrian links in the double-point enhanced grid homology of a link, and prove that it obstructs decomposable Lagrangian cobordisms in the symplectization of the standard contact structure on $\mathbb R^3$.

We derive constraints on Lagrangian concordances from Legendrian submanifolds of the standard contact sphere admitting exact Lagrangian fillings. More precisely, we show that such a concordance induces an isomorphism on the level of…

We prove that two Legendrian knots in a contact structure which is trivializable as a plane bundle are Legendrian isotopic provided that (1) they are isotopic as framed knots, (2) they have the same rotation number with respect to some…

We give a survey of geometric approaches to the topological 4-dimensional surgery and 5-dimensional s-cobordism conjectures, with a focus on the study of surfaces in 4-manifolds. The geometric lemma underlying these conjectures is a…

Each lens space has a canonical contact structure which lifts to the distribution of complex lines on the three-sphere. In this paper, we show that a symplectic homology cobordism between two lens spaces, which is given with the canonical…

This is the third in a series of papers on the geometry and analysis of singular area minimizing hypersurfaces. We show how to derive obstruction and structure theories for scalar curvature constraints without imposing dimensional or…

In the first part of this paper, we construct infinitely many hyperbolic closed 3-manifolds which admit no symplectic fillable contact structure. All these 3-manifolds are obtained by Dehn surgeries along L-space knots or L-space…

In this paper, we study distance one surgeries between lens spaces $L(p,1)$ with $p \geq 5$ prime and lens spaces $L(n,1)$ for $n \in \mathbb{Z}$ and band surgeries from $T(2,p)$ to $T(2,n)$. In particular, we prove that $L(n,1)$ is…
