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…

The original Arnold chord conjecture states that every closed Legendrian submanifold of the standard contact sphere $S^{2n-1}$ admits a Reeb chord with distinct endpoints with respect to any contact form. In this paper, we prove this…

In "Proof of the Arnold chord conjecture in three dimensions I", we deduced the Arnold chord conjecture in three dimensions from another result, which asserts that an exact symplectic cobordism between contact three-manifolds induces a map…

In this article, we first give a proof on the Arnold chord conjecture which states that every Reeb flow has at least as many Reeb chords as a smooth function on the Legendre submanifold has critical points on contact manifold. Second, we…

We prove Arnol'd's three cusps conjecture about the front of Legendrian curves in the projectivized cotangent bundle of the $2$-sphere. We use the microlocal theory of sheaves of Kashiwara and Schapira and study the derived category of…

In this article, we prove that there exists at least one chord which is characteristic of Reeb vector field connecting a given Legendre submanifold in a closed contact manifold with any contact form.

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 offer a new construction of Lagrangian submanifolds for the Gopakumar-Vafa conjecture relating the Chern-Simons theory on the 3-sphere and the Gromov-Witten theory on the resolved conifold. Given a knot in the 3-sphere its conormal…

Let M be a closed manifold. Wodzicki shows that, in the stable range, the cyclic cohomology of the associative algebra of pseudodifferential symbols of order \leq 0 is isomorphic to the homology of the cosphere bundle of M. In this article…

In this article, we first prove that every Hamilton flow has at least as many Hamilton- Arnold chords as a smooth function on the Legendre submanifold of zero first cohomology has critical points. Second, we prove that every Hamilton flow…

We define the Floer complex for Hamiltonian orbits on the cotangent bundle of a compact manifold satisfying non-local conormal boundary conditions. We prove that the homology of this chain complex is isomorphic to the singular homology of…

In arXiv:1911.08213 it was conjectured that the compactly supported cohomology of the $m$-th restricted contact locus of an isolated hypersurface singularity coincides, up to a shift, with the Floer cohomology of the $m$-th iterate of the…

The paper combines several fortunate mini miracles to achieve its two objectives. These were woven together in a several year's effort to answer a question raised by Iz Singer a decade ago. Our answer is accessible to the topologist, to the…

We consider closed manifolds that admit a metric locally isometric to a product of symmetric planes. For such manifolds, we prove that the Euler characteristic is an obstruction to the existence of flat structures, confirming an old…

We explain how to adapt the methods of Abouzaid-McLean-Smith to the setting of Hamiltonian Floer theory. We develop a language around equivariant ``$\langle k \rangle$-manifolds'', which are a type of manifold-with-corners that suffices to…

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…

In this note we give a short proof of Arnold's conjecture for the zero section of a cotangent bundle of a closed manifold. The proof is based on some basic properties of Lagrangian spectral invariants from Floer theory.

We give an proof on the Weinstein conjecture on the cotangent bundles of open manifolds. Its proof is based on Gromov's nonlinear Fredholm alternative.

We prove (a weak version of) Arnold's Chord Conjecture using Gromov's ``classical'' idea in to produce holomorphic disks with boundary on a Lagrangian submanifold.
