This paper represents a first step towards the extension of the definition of Rabinowitz Floer homology to non-compact energy hypersurfaces in exact symplectic manifolds. More concretely, we study under which conditions it is possible to…
We compute the Rabinowitz Floer homology for a class of non-compact hyperboloids $\Sigma\simeq S^{n+k-1}\times\mathbb{R}^{n-k}$. Using an embedding of a compact sphere $\Sigma_0\simeq S^{2k-1}$ into the hypersurface $\Sigma$, we construct a…
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…
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 this manuscript, we consider a generalisation of this…

We show that the category of linearly topologized vector spaces over discrete fields constitutes the correct framework for algebraic structures on Floer homologies with field coefficients. Our case in point is the Poincar\'e duality theorem…
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…
Rabinowitz Floer homology is the semi-infinite dimensional Morse homology associated to the Rabinowitz action functional used in the pioneering work of Rabinowitz. Gradient flow lines are solutions of a vortex-like equation. In this survey…
We show how Rabinowitz Floer homology can be seen as a standard Floer homology for fixed period Hamiltonian orbits on an extended phase space.
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…
We construct absolute and relative versions of Hamiltonian Floer homology algebras for strongly semi-positive compact symplectic manifolds with convex boundary, where the ring structures are given by the appropriate versions of the…
In this paper, we extend Rabinowitz Floer homology theory which has been established and extensively studied for hypersurfaces to coisotropic submanifolds of higher codimension. With this generalized version of Rabinowitz Floer homology…
Consider the cotangent bundle of a Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ of dimension 2 or more, endowed with a twisted symplectic structure defined by a closed weakly exact 2-form $\sigma$ on $M$ whose lift to the universal cover of $M$ admits a…
For every nontrivial free homotopy class $\alpha$ of loops in every closed connected Riemannian manifold $M$, we prove existence of a noncontractible 1-periodic orbit, for every compactly supported time-dependent Hamiltonian on the open…
We study the dynamics and symplectic topology of energy hypersurfaces of mechanical Hamiltonians on twisted cotangent bundles. We pay particular attention to periodic orbits, displaceability, stability and the contact type property, and the…
We construct Hamiltonian Floer complexes associated to continuous, and even lower semi-continuous, time dependent exhaustion functions on geometrically bounded symplectic manifolds. We further construct functorial continuation maps…
The Rabinowitz-Floer homology of a Liouville domain W is the Floer homology of the free period Hamiltonian action functional associated to a Hamiltonian whose zero energy level is the boundary of W. It has been introduced by K. Cieliebak…
We study a Floer-theoretic approach to harmonic maps from the two-torus into non-flat K\"ahler manifolds. Building on the complex-regularized polysymplectic (CRPS) formalism of [BF24], which provides a Hamiltonian description of harmonic…
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…
This thesis considers fillable contact structures on odd-dimensional manifolds. For that purpose, Rabinowitz-Floer homology (RFH) is used which was introduced by Cieliebak and Frauenfelder in 2009. A major part of the thesis is devoted to…
