In this paper, using pseudo-holomorphic curve method, one proves the Weinstein conjecture in the product $P_1\times P_2$ of two strongly geometrically bounded symplectic manifolds under some conditions with $P_1$. In particular, if $N$ is a…

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…

In this paper we prove the presence of an embedded plastikstufe implies overtwistedness of the contact structure in any dimension. Moreover, we show in dimension 5 that the presence of an embedded bordered Legendrian open book (bLob) also…

We obtain several results for (iterated) planar contact manifolds in higher dimensions: (1) Iterated planar contact manifolds are not weakly symplectically semi-fillable. This generalizes a 3-dimensional result of Etnyre to a…

We propose a theory of contact invariants and open string invariants, assuming that the almost complex $J$ is either non-degenerate or of Bott-type. We do not choose the complex structure $\tilde{J}$ such that $L_X\tilde{J}=0$ on periodic…

We show that contact homology distinguishes infinitely many tight contact structures on any orientable, toroidal, irreducible 3-manifold. As a consequence of the contact homology computations, on a very large class of toroidal manifolds,…

Minimal surfaces and domain walls play important roles in various contexts of spacetime physics as well as material science. In this paper, we first review the Bernstein conjecture, which asserts that a plane is the only globally well…

We establish the Giroux correspondence in arbitrary dimensions. As corollaries we (i) give an alternate proof of a result of Giroux-Pardon that states that any Weinstein domain is Weinstein homotopic to one which admits a Weinstein…

In this note we prove the Weinstein conjecture for a class of symplectic manifolds including the uniruled manifolds based on Liu-Tian's result.

We show that every quasiconformal contact foliation supports an invariant metric and characterise such foliations by the dynamical property of $C^1$-equicontinuity. We prove that a generalisation of the Weinstein conjecture holds for…

Artin's conjecture is established for all forms that can be realised as a diagonal form on an hyperplane.

This is an introduction to Taubes's proof of the Weinstein conjecture, written for the AMS Current Events Bulletin. It is intended to be accessible to nonspecialists, so much of the article is devoted to background and context.

W. M. Hirsch formulated a beautiful conjecture on diameters of convex polyhedra.I suggest a new viewpoint with the deformation and moduli of polytopes.

We describe some open questions related to support points in the class $S^0$ and introduce some useful techniques toward a higher dimensional Bieberbach conjecture.

We established existence of periodic Reeb orbits for a large class of tight contact structures on closed 3-manifolds, notably the Stein fillable structures, based on a fundamental theorem of Cliff Taubes on symplectic 4-manifolds.

In this article, we investigate Reeb dynamics on $b^m$-contact manifolds, previously introduced in [MiO], which are contact away from a hypersurface $Z$ but satisfy certain transversality conditions on $Z$. The study of these contact…

The goal of this paper is to set up the general framework of higher-dimensional Heegaard Floer homology, define the contact class, and use it to give an obstruction to the Liouville fillability of a contact manifold and a sufficient…

We establish a parametric extension $h$-principle for overtwisted contact structures on manifolds of all dimensions, which is the direct generalization of the $3$-dimensional result from \cite{Eli89}. It implies, in particular, that any…

Let M denote a compact, oriented 3-manifold and let a denote a contact 1-form on M. This article proves that the vector field that generates the kernel of the 2-form da has at least one closed, integral curve.

We survey recent progress on the Greenfield-Wallach and Katok conjectures on globally hypoelliptic and cohomology free vector fields and derive a proof of the conjectures in dimension three. The argument is primarily based on recent work of…
