We study the existence of positive loops of contactomorphisms on a Liouville-fillable contact manifold $(\Sigma,\xi=\ker(\alpha))$. Previous results show that a large class of Liouville-fillable contact manifolds admit contractible positive…

We consider symplectic cohomology twisted by sphere bundles, which can be viewed as an analogue of local systems. Using the associated Gysin exact sequence, we prove the uniqueness of part of the ring structure on cohomology of fillings for…

We show that for all $n \ge 3$, any $(2n+1)$-dimensional manifold that admits a tight contact structure, also admits a tight but non-fillable contact structure, in the same almost contact class. For $n=2$, we obtain the same result,…

We introduce a new method to obstruct Liouville and weak fillability. Using this, we show that various rational homology 3-spheres admit strongly fillable contact structures without Liouville fillings, which extends the result of Ghiggini…

We exhibit tight contact structures on 3-manifolds that do not admit any symplectic fillings.

In this note, we prove that every closed connected oriented odd-dimensional manifold admits a map of non-zero degree (i.e., a domination) from a tight contact manifold of the same dimension. This provides an odd-dimensional counterpart of a…

For any asymptotically dynamically convex contact manifold $Y$, we show that $SH_*(W)=0$ is a property independent of the choice of topologically simple (i.e.\ $c_1(W)=0$ and $\pi_{1}(Y)\rightarrow \pi_1(W)$ is injective) Liouville filling…

We define a family of symplectic invariants which obstruct exact symplectic embeddings between Liouville manifolds, using the general formalism of linearized contact homology and its L-infinity structure. As our primary application, we…

A Hamiltonian system is completely integrable (in the sense of Liouville) if there exist as many independent integrals of motion in involution as the dimension of the configuration space. Under certain regularity conditions,…

Here we study several questions concerning Liouville domains that are diffeomorphic to cylinders, so called trivial bi-fillings, for which the Liouville skeleton moreover is smooth and of codimension one; we also propose the notion of a…

We exhibit a 3-manifold which admits no tight contact structure.

We discuss some examples of open manifolds which admit non-isomorphic symplectic structures of Liouville type.

In this paper we are interested in characterizing the standard contact sphere in terms of dynamically convex contact manifolds which admit a Liouville filling with vanishing symplectic homology. We first observe that if the filling is…

We prove, in a geometric way, that the standard contact structure on the real projective space of dimension $2n-1$ is not Liouville fillable for $n \ge 3$ and odd. We also prove that, for all $n$, semipositive fillings of those contact…

We prove, by an ad hoc method, that exact fillings with vanishing rational first Chern class of flexibly fillable contact manifolds have unique integral intersection forms. We appeal to the special Reeb dynamics (stronger than ADC \`a la…

We prove contact big fiber theorems, analogous to the symplectic big fiber theorem by Entov and Polterovich, using symplectic cohomology with support. Unlike in the symplectic case, the validity of the statements requires conditions on the…

For any Anosov diffeomorphims on a closed odd dimensional manifold, there exists no invariant contact structure.

This article clarifies the status of linearized contact homology given the foundations of the contact dg-algebra established by Pardon. In particular, we prove that the set of isomorphism classes of linearized contact homologies of a closed…

We study Liouville fillable contact manifolds $(\Sigma,\xi)$ with non-zero Rabinowitz Floer homology and assign spectral numbers to paths of contactomorphisms. As a consequence we prove that $\widetilde{\mathrm{Cont}_0}(\Sigma,\xi)$ is…

In this paper, we establish a Liouville type rigidity result for a class of asymptotically hyperbolic non-compact Einstein metrics defined on manifolds of dimension $d\ge 5$ extending the earlier result in dimension $d=4$.
