This paper is the first of a series of three dedicated to a proof of the Arnold diffusion conjecture for perturbations of {convex} integrable Hamiltonian systems on $\mathbb{A}^3=\mathbb{T}^3\times \mathbb{R}^3$. We consider systems of the…

We consider Reeb flows on the tight $3$-sphere admitting a pair of closed orbits forming a Hopf link. If the rotation numbers associated to the transverse linearized dynamics at these orbits fail to satisfy a certain resonance condition…

A one-parameter family of time-reversible systems on $\mathbb{T}^3$ is considered. It is shown that the dynamics is not conservative, namely the attractor and repeller intersect but not coincide. We explain this as the manifestation of the…

Let M be a closed manifold whose based loop space is ``complicated''. Examples are rationally hyperbolic manifolds and manifolds whose fundamental group has exponential growth. We prove that the topological entropy of any Reeb flow on the…

We exhibit transverse knot types on the standard contact $3$-sphere that cannot be realized as periodic Reeb orbits of a dynamically convex contact form. In particular, such transverse knot types do not arise as closed characteristics of…

We study non-degenerate Reeb flows arising from perfect contact forms, i.e., the forms with vanishing contact homology differential. In particular, we obtain upper bounds on the number of simple closed Reeb orbits for such forms on a…

A contact form on the tight $3$-sphere $(S^3,\xi_0)$ is called weakly convex if the Conley-Zehnder index of every Reeb orbit is at least $2$. In this article, we study Reeb flows of weakly convex contact forms on $(S^3,\xi_0)$ admitting a…

On every compact, orientable, irreducible 3-manifold V which is toroidal or has torus boundary components we construct a contact 1-form whose Reeb vector field R does not have any contractible periodic orbits and is tangent to the boundary.…

Let M denote a compact, orientable, 3-dimensional manifold and let a denote a contact 1-form on M; thus the wedge product of a with da is nowhere zero. This article explains how the Seiberg-Witten Floer homology groups as defined for any…

A regular contact manifold is a manifold $M$ equipped with a globally defined contact form $\eta$ such that the topological space $M/\mathcal{R}$ of orbits (trajectories) of the Reeb vector field $\mathcal{R}$ of $\eta$ carries a smooth…

An estimate on the number of distinct relative periodic orbits around a stable relative equilibrium in a Hamiltonian system with continuous symmetry is given. This result constitutes a generalization to the Hamiltonian symmetric framework…

We prove several generic existence results for infinitely many periodic orbits of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms or Reeb flows. For instance, we show that a Hamiltonian diffeomorphism of a complex projective space or Grassmannian generically…

The purposes of the present paper are two-fold. Firstly we further develop the interplay between the contact Hamiltonian geometry and the geometric analysis of Hamiltonian-perturbed contact instantons with the Legendrian boundary condition,…

For Reeb vector fields on closed 3-manifolds, cylindrical contact homology is used to show that the existence of a set of closed Reeb orbit with certain knotting/linking properties implies the existence of other Reeb orbits with other…

We construct a dynamically convex contact form on the three-sphere whose systolic ratio is arbitrarily close to 2. This example is related to a conjecture of Viterbo, whose validity would imply that the systolic ratio of a convex contact…

We survey various recent results on the existence and properties of periodic orbits of Reeb vector fields in three dimensions. We give an introduction to the "elementary spectral invariants" of contact three-manifolds, and we explain how…

We introduce the concept of $\varepsilon\,$-contact metric structures on oriented (pseudo-)Riemannian three-manifolds, which encompasses the usual Riemannian contact metric, Lorentzian contact metric and para-contact metric structures, but…

This paper is the sequel to the previous paper [Ne15], which showed that sufficient regularity exists to define cylindrical contact homology in dimension three for nondegenerate dynamically separated contact forms, a subclass of dynamically…

In the present paper we deal with (local) infinitesimal isometries of special sub-Riemannian manifolds (a contact and oriented sub-Riemannian manifold is called special if the Reeb vector field is an isometry). The objective of the paper is…

We introduce a procedure for gluing Weinstein domains along Weinstein subdomains. By gluing along flexible subdomains, we show that any finite collection of high-dimensional Weinstein domains with the same topology are Weinstein subdomains…
