In this note, we first classify all topological torus knots lying on the Heegaard torus in lens spaces, and then we study Legendrian representatives of these knots. We classify oriented positive Legendrian torus knots in the universally…

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 all maximal-tb Legendrian torus links (n,m) in the standard contact 3-sphere, except for (2,m),(3,3),(3,4) and (3,5), admit infinitely many Lagrangian fillings in the standard symplectic 4-ball. This is proven by constructing…

For $g>0$, we construct $g+1$ Legendrian embeddings of a surface of genus $g$ into $J^1(R^2)=R^5$ which lie in pairwise distinct Legendrian isotopy classes and which all have $g+1$ transverse Reeb chords ($g+1$ is the conjecturally minimal…

Examples are given of prime Legendrian knots in the standard contact 3-space that have arbitrarily many distinct Chekanov polynomials, refuting a conjecture of Lenny Ng. These are constructed using a new `Legendrian tangle replacement'…

The Legendrian product of two Legendrian knots, as defined by Lambert-Cole, is a Legendrian torus. We show that this Legendrian torus is a twist spun whenever one of the Legendrian knot components is sufficiently large. We then study…

We study the singularities of Legendrian subvarieties of contact manifolds in the complex-analytic category and prove two rigidity results. The first one is that Legendrian singularities with reduced tangent cones are contactomorphically…

Let $P(K)$ be a satellite knot where the pattern, $P$, is a Berge-Gabai knot (i.e., a knot in the solid torus with a non-trivial solid torus Dehn surgery), and the companion, $K$, is a non-trivial knot in $S^3$. We prove that $P(K)$ is an…

The canonical k-tangent structure on $T^1_kQ=TQ\oplus\stackrel{k}...\oplus TQ$ allows us to characterize nonlinear connections on $T^1_kQ$ and to develop G\"unther's (k-symplectic) Lagrangian formalism. We study the relationship between…

We prove a Seifert-van Kampen theorem for Legendrian submanifolds and exact Lagrangian cobordisms, and use it to calculate the change in the DGA caused by critical Legendrian ambient surgery.

We study the unwrapped Fukaya category of Lagrangian branes ending on a Legendrian knot. Our knots live at contact infinity in the cotangent bundle of a surface, the Fukaya category of which is equivalent to the category of constructible…

In this paper, the support genus of all Legendrian right handed trefoil knots and some other Legendrian knots is computed. We give examples of Legendrian knots in the three-sphere with the standard contact structure which have positive…

Lagrangian $k$-surgery modifies an immersed Lagrangian submanifold by topological $k$-surgery while removing a self-intersection. Associated to a $k$-surgery is a Lagrangian surgery trace cobordism. We prove that every Lagrangian cobordism…

We extend the sutured framework to the case of Legendrians with boundary. Using ideas from Lagrangian Floer theory, we define the cylindrical and the wrapped sutured Legendrian homologies of a pair of sutured Legendrians. They fit together…

We prove that there are precisely two embedded exact Lagrangian fillings of the standard Legendrian Hopf link, up to compactly supported Hamiltonian isotopy. It was known that the standard Legendrian Hopf link admitted at least two such…

We introduce new pseudo-metrics on spaces of Lagrangian submanifolds of a symplectic manifold $(M,\omega)$ by considering areas associated to projecting Lagrangian cobordisms in $\mathbb{C} \times M$ to the "time-energy plane" $\mathbb{C}$.…
