Using contact surgery we define families of contact structures on certain Seifert fibered three-manifolds. We prove that all these contact structures are tight using contact Ozsath-Szabo invariants. We use these examples to show that, given…

We conclude the construction of the algebraic complex, consisting of spaces of differentials of Euclidean metric values, for four-dimensional piecewise-linear manifolds. Assuming that the complex is acyclic, we investigate how its torsion…

All knots in $R^3$ possess Seifert surfaces, and so the classical Thurston-Bennequin and rotation (or Maslov) invariants for Legendrian knots in a contact structure on $R^3$ can be defined. The definitions extend easily to null-homologous…

In this paper, we study the two-point Weyl Law for the Laplace-Beltrami operator on a smooth, compact Riemannian manifold $M$ with no conjugate points. That is, we find the asymptotic behavior of the Schwartz kernel, $E_\lambda(x,y)$, of…

We show that the C*-algebra of a regular 2-step nilpotent lie group can be recovered using continuous fields of Toeplitz algebras and a crossed product. We generalize this result to polycontact manifolds in the sense of van Erp which are…

We prove every oriented compact cyclic $3$-orbifold has a contact structure. There is another proof in the web by Daniel Herr in his uploaded thesis which depends on open book decompositions, ours is independent of that. We define…

Let A be an affine variety inside a complex N dimensional vector space which has an isolated singularity at the origin. The intersection of A with a very small sphere turns out to be a contact manifold called the link of A. Any contact…

Plastikstufes and overtwistedness for higher-dimensional contact manifolds are studied in this paper. It is proved that a contact structure is overtwisted if and only if there exists a small plastikstufe with toric core that has trivial…

Linearized Legendrian contact homology (LCH) and bilinearized LCH are important homological invariants for Legendrian submanifolds in contact geometry. For legendrian knots in $\mathbb{R}^3$, very little was previously known about the…

Let $X$ be a compact strictly pseudoconvex embeddable CR manifold and let $T_P$ be the Toeplitz operator on $X$ associated with some first order pseudodifferential operator $P$. We consider $\chi_k(T_P)$ the functional calculus of $T_P$ by…

For a nullhomologous Legendrian knot in a closed contact 3-manifold Y we consider a contact structure obtained by positive rational contact surgery. We prove that in this situation the Heegaard Floer contact invariant of Y is mapped by a…

n this paper we define an invariant of a pair of 6 dimensional symplectic %optional manifold with vanishing 1st Chern class and its Lagrangian submanifold with vanishing Maslov index. This invariant is a function on the set of the path…

We propose a definition for analytic torsion of the contact complex on contact manifolds. We show it coincides with Ray-Singer torsion on any 3-dimensional CR Seifert manifold equipped with a unitary representation. In this particular case…

We derive formulas for the classical Chern-Simons invariant of irreducible $SU(n)$-flat connections on negatively curved locally symmetric three-manifolds. We determine the condition for which the theory remains consistent (with basic…

We show how the periodicity of a homology sphere is reflected in the Reshetikhin-Turaev-Witten invariants of the manifold. These yield a criterion for the periodicity of a homology sphere.

We consider the class of positive bounded and semi-continuous functions defined on the two dimensional torus If f belongs to this class, then f will be considered as the symbol of a Toeplitz operator truncated on a triangle parametrised by…

Let $V$ be a closed 3-manifold with a contact form $\lambda$, and let $L$ be a link consisting of closed orbits for the Reeb vector field of $\lambda$. We study the problem of defining cylindrical contact homology on the non-compact…

We show that on any closed contact manifold of dimension greater than 1 a contact structure with vanishing contact homology can be constructed. The basic idea for the construction comes from Giroux. We use a special open book decomposition…

We establish Szeg\H{o} kernel asymptotic expansions on non-compact strictly pseudoconvex complete CR manifolds with transversal CR $\mathbb{R}$-action under certain natural geometric conditions.

We study the persistence of quadratic estimates related to the Kato square root problem across a change of metric on smooth manifolds by defining a class of Riemannian-like metrics that are permitted to be of low regularity and degenerate…
