Many interesting spaces --- including all positroid strata and wild character varieties --- are moduli of constructible sheaves on a surface with microsupport in a Legendrian link. We show that the existence of cluster structures on these…

For an adiscal or monotone regular coisotropic submanifold $N$ of a symplectic manifold I define its Floer homology to be the Floer homology of a certain Lagrangian embedding of $N$. Given a Hamiltonian isotopy $\phi=(\phi^t)$ and a…

We consider Legendrian contact structures on odd-dimensional complex analytic manifolds. We are particularly interested in integrable structures, which can be encoded by compatible complete systems of second order PDEs on a scalar function…

We extend the Heegaard Floer homological definition of spectral order for closed contact 3-manifolds due to Kutluhan, Mati\'c, Van Horn-Morris, and Wand to contact 3-manifolds with convex boundary. We show that the order of a codimension…

We consider S^1-families of Legendrian knots in the standard contact R^3. We define the monodromy of such a loop, which is an automorphism of the Chekanov-Eliashberg contact homology of the starting (and ending) point. We prove this…

We show that if the image of a Legendrian submanifold under a contact homeomorphism (i.e. a homeomorphism that is a $C^0$-limit of contactomorphisms) is smooth then it is Legendrian, assuming only positive local lower bounds on the…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring spectrum. We construct the wrapped Donaldson--Fukaya category with coefficients in $R$ of any stably polarized Liouville sector. We show that any two $R$-orientable and isomorphic objects admit $R$-orientations…

In this paper, we determine the group of contact transformations modulo contact isotopies for Legendrian circle bundles over closed surfaces of nonpositive Euler characteristic. These results extend and correct those presented by the first…

This paper associates a persistence module to a contact vector field $X$ on the ideal boundary of a Liouville manifold. The persistence module measures the dynamics of $X$ on the region $\Omega$ where $X$ is positively transverse to the…

We consider a smooth submanifold $N$ with a smooth boundary in an ambient closed manifold $M$ and assign a spectral invariant $c(\alpha,H)$ to every singular homological class $\alpha\in H_*(N)$ and a Hamiltonian $H$ defined on the…

For certain contact manifolds admitting a 1-periodic Reeb flow we construct a conjugation-invariant norm on the universal cover of the contactomorphism group. With respect to this norm the group admits a quasi-isometric monomorphism of the…

For a smooth compact submanifold $K$ of a Riemannian manifold $Q$, its unit conormal bundle $\Lambda_K$ is a Legendrian submanifold of the unit cotangent bundle of $Q$ with a canonical contact structure. Using pseudo-holomorphic curve…

We prove the existence of a spectral sequence for Lagrangian Floer homology which converges to the Floer homology of the image of a Lagrangian submanifold under multiple fibred Dehn twists. The $E_1$ term of the sequence is given by the…

In this article we prove that the Weinstein conjecture holds for contact manifolds $(\Sigma,\xi)$ for which $\mathrm{Cont}_0(\Sigma,\xi)$ is non-orderable in the sense of Eliashberg-Polterovich [EP00]. More precisely, we establish a link…

Our main purpose is to describe the category of isotropic cellular spectra over flexible fields. Guided by [6], we show that it is equivalent, as a stable $\infty$-category equipped with a $t$-structure, to the derived category of left…
