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…
In this short note we discuss certain examples of Legendrian submanifolds, whose linearized Legendrian contact (co)homology groups over integers have non-vanishing algebraic torsion. More precisely, for a given arbitrary finitely generated…
We prove that in the standard cosphere bundle, for any contact homeomorphism in the closure of the compactly supported contactomorphism group, when the image of a coisotropic submanifold (not necessarily properly embedded) is smooth, it is…
We construct a compactly supported contact homeomorphism of $\mathbb{R}^5$, with the standard contact structure, which maps a Legendrian disc to a smooth nowhere Legendrian disc.
We prove that the number of Reeb chords between a Legendrian submanifold and its contact Hamiltonian push-off is at least the sum of the $\mathbb{Z}_2$-Betti numbers of the submanifold, provided that the contact isotopy is sufficiently…
In this paper we study holomorphic Legendrian curves in the standard holomorphic contact structure on $\mathbb{C}^{2n+1}$ for any $n\in\mathbb{N}$. We provide several approximation and desingularization results which enable us to prove…
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,…
Let $\mathbb{R} \times (P \times \mathbb{R})$ be the symplectisation of the contactisation of an exact symplectic manifold $P$, and let $\mathbb{R} \times \Lambda$ be a cylinder over a Legendrian submanifold in the contactisation. We show…
We prove that for a closed Legendrian submanifold $L$ of dimension $n \geq 2$ with a loose chart of size $\eta$, any Legendrian isotopy starting at $L$ can be $C^0$-approximated by a Legendrian isotopy with energy arbitrarily close to…
We show that if a smooth projective curve $C\subset\mathbb P^3$ (over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero) is Legendrian with respect to a contact structure (it is well known that a contact structure on $\mathbb P^3$ is…
The symplectic cohomology of certain symplectic manifolds $W$ with non-compact ends modelled on the positive symplectization of a compact contact manifold $Y$ is shown to vanish whenever there is a positive loop of contactomorphisms of $Y$…
We show that any simply connected topological closed $4$-manifold punctured along any compact, totally disconnected tame subset $\Lambda$ admits a continuum of smoothings which are not diffeomorphic to any leaf of a $C^{1,0}$ codimension…
We show that the Legendrian lift of an exact, displaceable Lagrangian has vanishing Shelukhin-Chekanov-Hofer pseudo-metric by lifting an argument due to Sikorav to the contactization. In particular, this proves the existence of such…
This paper completely answers the question of when contact (r)-surgery on a Legendrian knot in the standard contact structure on the 3-sphere yields a symplectically fillable contact manifold for r in (0,1]. We also give obstructions for…
If a Legendrian knot $\Lambda$ in the standard contact 3-sphere bounds an orientable exact Lagrangian surface $\Sigma$ in the standard symplectic 4-ball, then the genus of $\Sigma$ is equal to the slice genus of (the smooth knot underlying)…
An exact Lagrangian submanifold $L$ in the symplectization of standard contact $(2n-1)$-space with Legendrian boundary $\Sigma$ can be glued to itself along $\Sigma$. This gives a Legendrian embedding $\Lambda(L,L)$ of the double of $L$…
We study Legendrian embeddings of a compact Legendrian submanifold $L$ sitting in a closed contact manifold $(M,\xi)$ whose contact structure is supported by a (contact) open book $\mathcal{OB}$ on $M$. We prove that if $\mathcal{OB}$ has…
Positive loops of Legendrian embeddings are examined from the point of view of Floer homology of Lagrangian cobordisms. This leads to new obstructions to the existence of a positive loop containing a given Legendrian, expressed in terms of…
We derive constraints on Lagrangian concordances from Legendrian submanifolds of the standard contact sphere admitting exact Lagrangian fillings. More precisely, we show that such a concordance induces an isomorphism on the level of…
In this short note we provide the examples of pairs of closed, connected Legendrian non-isotopic Legendrian submanifolds $(\Lambda_{-}, \Lambda_{+})$ of the $(4n+1)$-dimensional contact vector space, $n>1$, such that there exist Lagrangian…
