The tight versus overtwisted dichotomy has been an essential organizing principle and driving force in 3-dimensional contact geometry since its inception around 1990. In this article, we will discuss the genesis of this dichotomy in…
We describe some contact non-squeezing phenomena, first in lens spaces then in strongly order able closed prequantizations in the sense of Liu. To detect and quantify these non-squeezing phenomena we define and compute two different contact…
This is a survey of contact homology and its applications to the study of contact manifolds. It is a small tribute to Yasha Eliashberg's huge generosity with his countless explanations of his deep mathematical insights all along his career.…
In this essay dedicated to Yakov Eliashberg we survey the current state of the field of Lagrangian (un)knots, reviewing some constructions and obstructions along with a number of unsolved questions. The appendix by Georgios Dimitroglou…
We prove a contact non-squeezing result for a class of embeddings between starshaped domains in the contactization of the symplectization of the unit cotangent bundle of certain manifolds. The class of embeddings includes embeddings which…
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…
We present an operator theoretic side of the story of squeezed states regardless the order of squeezing. For low order, that is for displacement (order 1) and squeeze (order 2) operators, we bring back to consciousness what is know or…
Starting from the work of Bhupal, we extend to the contact case the Viterbo capacity and Traynor's construction of symplectic homology. As an application we get a new proof of the Non-Squeezing Theorem of Eliashberg, Kim and Polterovich.
We study in this paper the remnants of the contact partial order on the orbits of the adjoint action of contactomorphism groups on their Lie algebras. Our main interest is a class of non-compact contact manifolds, called convex at infinity.
In her PhD thesis Milin developed an equivariant version of the contact homology groups constructed by Eliashberg, Kim and Polterovich and used it to prove an equivariant contact non-squeezing theorem. In this article we re-obtain the same…
In this paper we solve a contact non-squeezing conjecture proposed by Eliashberg, Kim and Polterovich. Let $B_R$ be the open ball of radius $R$ in $\mathbf{R}^{2n}$ and let $\mathbf{R}^{2n}\times\mathbf{S}^1$ be the prequantization space…
We relate non-orderability in contact topology to shortening in the contact Hofer norm. Combined with considerations of open books, this provides many new examples of non-orderable contact manifolds, including contact boundaries of…
We discuss the occurrence of some notions and results from contact topology in the non-equilibrium thermodynamics. This includes the Reeb chords and the partial order on the space of Legendrian submanifolds.
Gromov's famous non-squeezing theorem (1985) states that the standard symplectic ball cannot be symplectically squeezed into any cylinder of smaller radius. Does there exist an analogue of this result in contact geometry? Our main finding…
We provide a brief survey of quantum statistical characterisations of order, disorder and coherence in systems of many degrees of freedom. Here, order and coherence are described in terms of symmetry breakdown, while disorder is described…
In contrast to dyadic interactions, higher-order interactions may contain one another, with subgroups naturally embedded within larger groups. These containment patterns arise empirically in ecology, sociology, computer science and the…
Proposed the computerized method for calculating the relative level of order composites. Correlation between a level of structure order and properties of solids is shown. Discussed the possibility of clarifying the terminology used in…
Extending pioneering work by Weinberg, Conrad, McCleary, and others, we provide a systematic way of relating spaces of right orders on a partially ordered group, on the one hand, and spectral spaces of free lattice-ordered groups, on the…
Sequential measurements of non-commuting observables produce order effects that are well-known in quantum physics. But their conceptual basis, a significant measurement interaction, is relevant for far more general situations. We argue that…
Robust finite-time feedback controller introduced for the second-order systems in [1] can be seen as a non-overshooting quasi-continuous sliding mode control. The paper proposes a regularization scheme to suppress inherent chattering due to…
