The Thurston-Bennequin invariant provides one notion of self-linking for any homologically-trivial Legendrian curve in a contact three-manifold. Here we discuss related analytic notions of self-linking for Legendrian knots in Euclidean…

We prove that every closed, connected contact 3-manifold can be obtained from the 3-sphere with its standard contact structure by contact surgery of coefficient plus or minus 1 along a Legendrian link. As a corollary, we derive a result of…

We find new obstructions on the topology of monotone Lagrangian submanifolds of $C^{n}$ under some hypothesis on the homology of their universal cover. In particular we show that nontrivial connected sums of manifolds of odd dimensions do…

Let $X$ be a compact Kahler manifold and $L\to X$ a quantizing holomorphic Hermitian line bundle. To immersed Lagrangian submanifolds $\Lambda$ of $X$ satisfying a Bohr-Sommerfeld condition we associate sequences $\{ |\Lambda, k\rangle…

A Lagrangian field on a symplectic manifold $M$ is a family $\Lambda=\{\Lambda_x|x \in M\}$ of pointed Lagrangian submanifolds of $M$. This notion is a generalization of a real Lagrangian polarization for which each $\Lambda_x$ is the leaf…

We study exact Lagrangian fillings of Legendrian links of $D_n$-type in the standard contact 3-sphere. The main result is the existence of a Lagrangian filling, represented by a weave, such that any algebraic quiver mutation of the…

Links in $S^3$ can be encoded by grid diagrams; a grid diagram is a collection of points on a toroidal grid such that each row and column of the grid contains exactly two points. Grid diagrams can be reinterpreted as front projections of…

We obtain upper and lower bounds for the relative Gromov width of Lagrangian cobordisms between Legendrian submanifolds. Upper bounds arise from the existence of $J$-holomorphic disks with boundary on the Lagrangian cobordism that pass…

Given a Legendrian knot $\Lambda \subset \mathbb{R}^3$ and a vertical line dividing the front projection of $\Lambda$ into two halves, we construct a differential graded algebra associated to each half-knot. We then show that one may obtain…

We show that every tight contact structure on any of the lens spaces $L(ns^2-s+1,s^2)$ with $n\geq 2$, $s\geq 1$, can be obtained by a single Legendrian surgery along a suitable Legendrian realisation of the negative torus knot…

It is shown that non-negative Legendrian isotopy defines a partial order on the universal cover of the Legendrian isotopy class of the fibre of the spherical cotangent bundle of any manifold. This result is applied to Lorentz geometry in…

In this paper we define invariants for primitive Legendrian knots in lens spaces L(p,q) for q not equal to 1. The main invariant is a differential graded algebra which is computed from a labeled Lagrangian projection of the pair (L(p,q),…

Laudenbach and Sikorav proved that closed, half-dimensional non-Lagrangian submanifolds of symplectic manifolds are immediately displaceable as long as there is no topological obstruction. From this they deduced that the $C^0$-limit of a…

A contact stationary Legendrian submanifold (briefly, CSL submanifold) is a stationary point of the volume functional of Legendrian submanifolds in a Sasakian manifold. Much effort has been paid in the last two decades to construct examples…

We prove that the restriction map from the subspace of regular points of the holonomy perturbed SU(2) traceless flat moduli space of a tangle in a 3-manifold to the traceless flat moduli space of its boundary marked surface is a Lagrangian…

We show the smooth version of the nearby Lagrangian conjecture for the 2-dimensional pair of pants and the Hamiltonian version for the cylinder. In other words, for any closed exact Lagrangian submanifold of $T^{*}M$, there is a smooth or…

We prove that there are at least seeds many exact embedded Lagrangian fillings for Legendrian links of type $\mathsf{ADE}$. We also provide seeds many Lagrangian fillings with certain symmetries for type $\mathsf{BCFG}$. Our main tools are…

We define an integer-valued non-degenerate bi-invariant metric (the discriminant metric) on the universal cover of the identity component of the contactomorphism group of any contact manifold. This metric has a very simple geometric…

It is shown that if the universal cover of a manifold $M$ is an open manifold, then two different fibres of the spherical cotangent bundle $ST^*M$ cannot be connected by a non-negative Legendrian isotopy. This result is applied to the study…

We study homotopically non-trivial spheres of Legendrians in the standard contact R3 and S3. We prove that there is a homotopy injection of the contactomorphism group of S3 into some connected components of the space of Legendrians induced…
