We show that positive $S^1$-equivariant symplectic homology is a contact invariant for a subclass of contact manifolds which are boundaries of Liouville domains. In nice cases, when the set of Conley-Zehnder indices of all good periodic…

We show that the presence of a non-contractible one-periodic orbit of a Hamiltonian diffeomorphism of a connected closed symplectic manifold $(M,\omega)$ implies the existence of infinitely many non-contractible simple periodic orbits,…

We show that whenever a closed symplectic manifold admits a Hamiltonian diffeomorphism with finitely many simple periodic orbits, the manifold has a spherical homology class of degree two with positive symplectic area and positive integral…

We exhibit a distinctly low-dimensional dynamical obstruction to the existence of Liouville cobordisms: for any contact 3-manifold admitting an exact symplectic cobordism to the tight 3-sphere, every nondegenerate contact form admits an…

In this paper, it is proved that under dynamically convex condition, there exist at least $[\frac{n+1}{2}]$ closed Reeb orbits on a closed contact type hypersurface in $T^*S^n$ enclosing the zero section and bounding a simply connected…

Nondegenerate periodic orbits in three-dimensional Reeb flows can be classified into three types, positive hyperbolic, negative hyperbolic and elliptic. As a problem which involves refining the three-dimensional Weinstein conjecture, D.…

We show that a nondegenerate tight contact form on the 3-sphere has exactly two simple closed Reeb orbits if and only if the differential in linearized contact homology vanishes. Moreover, in this case the Floquet multipliers and…

A non-degenerate contact form is lacunary if the indexes of every contractible periodic Reeb orbit have the same parity. To the best of our knowledge, every contact form with finitely many periodic orbits known so far is non-degenerate and…

We study Reeb dynamics on prequantization circle bundles and the filtered (equivariant) symplectic homology of prequantization line bundles, aka negative line bundles, with symplectically aspherical base. We define (equivariant) symplectic…

We investigate the effect of a hyperbolic (or, more generally, isolated as an invariant set) closed Reeb orbit on the dynamics of a Reeb flow on the $(2n-1)$-dimensional standard contact sphere, extending two results previously known for…

We give a sharp lower bound for the number of geometrically distinct contractible periodic orbits of dynamically convex Reeb flows on prequantizations of symplectic manifolds that are not aspherical. Several consequences of this result are…

We study the $J-$holomorphic curves in the symplectization of the contact manifolds and prove that there exists at least one periodic Reeb orbits in any closed contact manifold with any contact form by using the well-known Gromov's…

A contact manifold admittting a supporting contact form without contractible Reeb orbits is called hypertight. In this paper we construct a Rabinowitz Floer homology associated to an arbitrary supporting contact form for a hypertight…

We develop a forcing theory of topological entropy for Reeb flows in dimension $3$. A transverse link $L$ in a closed contact $3$-manifold $(Y,\xi)$ is said to force topological entropy if $(Y,\xi)$ admits a Reeb flow with vanishing…

Let $(Y,\lambda)$ be a non-degenerate contact three manifold. D. Cristfaro-Gardiner, M. Hutshings and D. Pomerleano showed that if $c_{1}(\xi=\mathrm{Ker}\lambda)$ is torsion, then the Reeb vector field of $(Y,\lambda)$ has infinity many…
