We study the following rigidity problem in symplectic geometry:can one displace a Lagrangian submanifold from a hypersurface? We relate this to the Arnold Chord Conjecture, and introduce a refined question about the existence of relative…

Rabinowitz Floer homology has been investigated on a submanifold of contact type. The contact condition, however, is quite restrictive. For example, a product of contact hypersurfaces is rarely of contact type. In this article, we study…

In this article we explain how critical points of a particular perturbation of the Rabinowitz action functional give rise to leaf-wise intersection points in hypersurfaces of restricted contact type. This is used to derive existence and…

We define a new variant of Rabinowitz Floer homology that is particularly well suited to studying the growth rate of leaf-wise intersections. We prove that for closed manifolds $M$ whose loop space is "complicated", if $\Sigma$ is a…

For an adiscal or monotone regular coisotropic submanifold $N$ of a symplectic manifold I define its Floer homology to be the Floer homology of a certain Lagrangian embedding of $N$. Given a Hamiltonian isotopy $\phi=(\phi^t)$ and a…

This paper extends the definition of Rabinowitz Floer homology to non-compact hypersurfaces. We present a general framework for the construction of Rabinowitz Floer homology in the non-compact setting under suitable compactness assumptions…

This paper concerns Floer homology for periodic orbits and for a Lagrangian intersection problem on the cotangent bundle of a compact orientable manifold M. The first result is a new uniform estimate for the solutions of the Floer equation,…

In this paper we make the first steps towards developing a theory of intersections of coisotropic submanifolds, similar to that for Lagrangian submanifolds. For coisotropic submanifolds satisfying a certain stability requirement we…

In this paper we use Floer theory to study topological restrictions on Lagrangian embeddings in closed symplectic manifolds. One of the phenomena arising from our results is ``homological rigidity'' of Lagrangian submanifolds. Namely, in…

Rabinowitz-Floer homology is the Morse-Bott homology in the sense of Floer associated with the Rabinowitz action functional introduced by Kai Cieliebak and Urs Frauenfelder in 2009. In our work, we consider a generalisation of this theory…

In this article we define intersection Floer homology for exact Lagrangian cobordisms between Legendrian submanifolds in the contactisation of a Liouville manifold, provided that the Chekanov-Eliashberg algebras of the negative ends of the…

We investigate the extrinsic topology of Lagrangian submanifolds and of their submanifolds in closed symplectic manifolds using Floer homological methods. The first result asserts that the homology class of a displaceable monotone…

We give a quantitative refinement of the invariance of the Legendrian contact homology algebra in general contact manifolds. We show that in this general case, the Lagrangian cobordism trace of a Legendrian isotopy defines a DGA stable tame…

Using the wrapped Floer homology, we prove the existence of consecutive collisions at the primaries in the circular restricted three-body problem. We also prove the existence of a symmetric periodic orbit. These existence results are…

We give criteria for the existence of bifurcations of symmetric periodic orbits in reversible Hamiltonian systems in terms of local equivariant Lagrangian Rabinowitz Floer homology. As an example, we consider the family of the direct…

We define the $S^1$-equivariant Rabinowitz-Floer homology of a bounding contact hypersurface $\Sigma$ in an exact symplectic manifold, and show by a geometric argument that it vanishes if $\Sigma$ is displaceable. In the appendix we…

We establish the leafwise intersection property for closed, coisotropic submanifolds in an exact symplectic manifold satisfying natural additional assumptions.

In this paper we study the question of fragility and robustness of leafwise intersections of coisotropic submanifolds. Namely, we construct a closed hypersurface and a sequence of Hamiltonians $C^0$-converging to zero such that the…

We show how Rabinowitz Floer homology can be seen as a standard Floer homology for fixed period Hamiltonian orbits on an extended phase space.
