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,…
In the present article, we provide analytic foundation of the following nonlinear elliptic system, called the \emph{Hamiltonian-perturbed contact instanton equation}, $$ (du - X_H \otimes \gamma)^{\pi(0,1)} = 0, \quad d(e^{g_{H,…

The present paper is a continuation of the study of the interplay between the contact Hamiltonian dynamics and the moduli theory of (perturbed) contact instantons and its applications initiated in [Oh21b, Oh22a]. In this paper we prove…
We develop the gluing theory of contact instantons in the context of open strings and in the context of closed strings \emph{with vanishing charge}, for example in the symplectization context. This is one of the key ingredients for the…
In [OW2,OW3], the authors studied the nonlinear elliptic system $$ \overline{\partial}^\pi w = 0, \, d(w^*\lambda \circ j) = 0 $$ without involving symplectization for each given contact triad $(Q,\lambda, J)$, and established the a priori…
For a given coorientable contact manifold $(M,\Xi)$ with contact distribution $\Xi$, we consider its contact forms $\lambda$ with $\ker \lambda = \Xi$, and the associated contact triads $(M,\lambda, J)$. For a generic choice of contact form…
A Fredholm integral equation of the second kind with the generalized Neumann kernel associated with the Riemann-Hilbert problem on unbounded multiply connected regions will be derived and studied in this paper. The derived integral equation…
We provide a thorough construction of a system of compatible determinant line bundles over spaces of Fredholm operators, fully verify that this system satisfies a number of important properties, and include explicit formulas for all…
In this paper, we prove Shelukhin's conjecture on the translated points on any closed contact manifold $(Q,\xi)$ which reads that for any choice of function $H = H(t,x)$ and contact form $\lambda$ the contactomorphism $\psi_H^1$ carries a…
The theory of frames normal for general connections on differentiable bundles is developed. Links with the existing theory of frames normal for covariant derivative operators (linear connections) in vector bundles are revealed. The…
Just as a symmetric surface with separating fixed locus halves into two oriented bordered surfaces, an arbitrary symmetric surface halves into two oriented symmetric half-surfaces, i.e. surfaces with crosscaps. Motivated in part by the…
We derive the large distance asymptotics of the Fredholm determinant of the so-called generalised sine kernel at the critical point. This kernel corresponds to a generalisation of the pure sine kernel arising in the theory of random…
