We show that a contact $(+1)$-surgery along a Legendrian sphere in a flexibly fillable contact manifold ($c_1=0$ if not subcritical) yields a contact manifold that is algebraically overtwisted if the Legendrian's homology class is not…

Real Legendrian subvarieties are classical objects of differential geometry and classical mechanics and they have been studied since antiquity. However, complex Legendrian subvarieties are much more rigid and have more exceptional…

Let M be a compact symplectic manifold, and L be a closed Lagrangian submanifold which can be lifted to a Legendrian submanifold in the contactization of M. For any Legendrian deformation of L satisfying some given conditions, we get a new…

For a sequence of immersed connected closed Hamiltonian stationary Lagrangian submaniolds in $\mathbb{C}^{n}$ with uniform bounds on their volumes and the total extrinsic curvatures, we prove that a subsequence converges either to a point…

Let $\alpha$ be a contact form on a manifold $M$, and $L\subseteq M$ a closed Legendrian submanifold. I prove that $L$ intersects some characteristic for $\alpha$ at least twice if all characteristics are closed and of the same period, and…

Lavrentiev curves form a special class of rectifiable curves which includes cusp-free piecewise smooth curves. We call a Lavrentiev curve Legendrian if the integral of the contact form equals zero on any its subarc. We define Legendrian…

We introduce and discuss notions of regularity and flexibility for Lagrangian manifolds with Legendrian boundary in Weinstein domains. There is a surprising abundance of flexible Lagrangians. In turn, this leads to new constructions of…

The purpose of this paper is to carry out a classical construction of a non-constant holomorphic disk with boundary on (the suspension of) a Lagrangian submanifold in $\mathbb{R}^{2 n}$ in the case the Lagrangian is the lift of a…

We classify convex disks with a fixed characteristic foliation and Legendrian boundary, up to contact isotopy relative to the boundary, in every closed overtwisted contact 3-manifold. This classification covers cases where the neighborhood…

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…

We prove that the Lagrangian correspondences induced by the symplectic reduction maps at free zero level sets of the moment maps are unobstructed after bulk deformation, assuming the existence of certain equivariant Kuranishi structures and…

We relate the version of rational Symplectic Field Theory for exact Lagrangian cobordisms introduced in [5] with linearized Legendrian contact homology. More precisely, if $L\subset X$ is an exact Lagrangian submanifold of an exact…

Let $\Lambda, \Lambda'$ be a pair of closed Legendrian submanifolds in a closed contact manifold $(Y, \xi = Ker(\alpha))$ related by a Legendrian cobordism $W\subset (\mathbb{C}\times Y, \tilde{\xi}=Ker(-y dx +\alpha))$. In this note, we…

We define a differential graded algebra associated to Legendrian knots in Seifert fibered spaces with transverse contact structures. This construction is distinguished from other combinatorial realizations of contact homology invariants by…

This paper and its sequel prove that every Legendrian knot in a closed three-manifold with a contact form has a Reeb chord. The present paper deduces this result from another theorem, asserting that an exact symplectic cobordism between…

We show that Legendrian integral currents in a contact manifold that locally minimize the mass among Legendrian competitors have a regular set which is open and dense in their support. We apply this to show existence and partial regularity…

We discuss the occurrence of some notions and results from contact topology in the non-equilibrium thermodynamics. This includes the Reeb chords and the partial order on the space of Legendrian submanifolds.

The study of low regularity (in-)extendibility of Lorentzian manifolds is motivated by the question whether a given solution to the Einstein equations can be extended (or is maximal) as a weak solution. In this paper we show that a timelike…

We prove a Morrey-type theorem for Hamiltonian stationary submanifolds of $\mathbb{C}^{n}$. Namely, if $L$ $\subset$ $\mathbb{C}^{n}$ is a $C^{1}$ Lagrangian submanifold with weakly harmonic Lagrangian phase $\theta,$ then $L$ must be…

A submanifold of the standard symplectic space determines a partially defined, multi-valued symplectic map, the outer symplectic billiard correspondence. Two points are in this correspondence if the midpoint of the segment connecting them…
