We construct infinite families of non-simple isotopy classes of links in overtwisted contact structures on $S^1$-bundles over surfaces. These examples include: (1) a pair of Legendrian links that are not Legendrian isotopic, but which are…

Legendrian Contact Homology (LCH) and its augmentations are important invariants of Legendrian submanifolds, and for Legendrian knots in the standard contact 3-space in particular. We increase understanding of the algebraic structure of LCH…

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 establish a long exact sequence for Legendrian submanifolds L in P x R, where P is an exact symplectic manifold, which admit a Hamiltonian isotopy that displaces the projection of L off of itself. In this sequence, the singular homology…

In the symplectization of standard contact $3$-space, $\mathbb R \times \mathbb R^3$, it is known that an orientable Lagrangian cobordism between a Legendrian knot and itself, also known as an orientable Lagrangian endocobordism for the…

We investigate an equivalence relation on Legendrian knots in the standard contact three-space defined by the existence of an interpolating zigzag of Lagrangian cobordisms. We compare this relation, restricted to genus-$0$ surfaces, to…

By a result due to Ziltener, there exist no closed embedded Bohr-Sommerfeld Lagrangians inside $\mathbb CP^n$ for the prequantisation bundle whose total space is the standard contact sphere. On the other hand, any embedded monotone…

Let $L \subset Y$ be a Legendrian submanifold of a contact manifold, $S\subset L$ a framed embedded sphere bounding an isotropic disc $D_S \subset Y \setminus L$, and use $L_S$ to denote the manifold obtained from $L$ by a surgery on $S$.…

We define invariants of null--homologous Legendrian and transverse knots in contact 3--manifolds. The invariants are determined by elements of the knot Floer homology of the underlying smooth knot. We compute these invariants, and show that…

We classify Legendrian unknots in overtwisted contact structures on $S^3$. In particular, we show that up to contact isotopy for every pair $(n,\pm(n-1))$ with $n>0$ there are exactly two oriented non-loose Legendrian unknots in $S^3$ with…
