The systolic ratio of a contact form $\alpha$ on the three-sphere is the quantity \[ \rho_{\mathrm{sys}}(\alpha) = \frac{T_{\min}(\alpha)^2}{\mathrm{vol}(S^3,\alpha\wedge d\alpha)}, \] where $T_{\min}(\alpha)$ is the minimal period of…

The main theme of this paper is the dynamics of Reeb flows with symmetries on the standard contact sphere. We introduce the notion of strong dynamical convexity for contact forms invariant under a group action, supporting the standard…

We make some elementary observations concerning subcritically Stein fillable contact structures on 5-manifolds. Specifically, we determine the diffeomorphism type of such contact manifolds in the case the fundamental group is finite cyclic,…

We prove that every homotopy class of almost contact structures on a closed 5-dimensional manifold admits a contact structure.

We prove the non--triviality of the Reeb flow for the (2n+1)--dimensional standard contact spheres inside the fundamental group of their contactomorphism group, n greater than 3. The argument uses the existence of homotopically non--trivial…

We prove a normal form for contact forms close to a Zoll one and deduce that Zoll contact forms on any closed manifold are local maximizers of the systolic ratio. Corollaries of this result are: (i) sharp local systolic inequalities for…

We consider Reeb dynamics on the 3-sphere associated to a tight contact form. Our main result gives necessary and sufficient conditions for a periodic Reeb orbit to bound a disk-like global section for the Reeb flow, when the contact form…

In this paper we proof that the Holomorphic angle for compact minimal surfaces in the sphere $S^5$ with constant Contact angle and with a parallel normal vector field must be constant.

For certain contact manifolds admitting a 1-periodic Reeb flow we construct a conjugation-invariant norm on the universal cover of the contactomorphism group. With respect to this norm the group admits a quasi-isometric monomorphism of the…

In this paper we are interested in characterizing the standard contact sphere in terms of dynamically convex contact manifolds which admit a Liouville filling with vanishing symplectic homology. We first observe that if the filling is…

We develop methods for studying the smooth closing lemma for Reeb flows in any dimension using contact homology. As an application, we prove a conjecture of Irie, stating that the strong closing lemma holds for Reeb flows on ellipsoids. Our…

Let $(M, \alpha)$ be a $2n+1$-dimensional connected compact contact toric manifold of Reeb type. Suppose the contact form $\alpha$ is regular, we find conditions under which $M$ is homeomorphic to $S^{2n+1}$.

Let $\Sigma$ be a connected closed three-manifold, and let $t_\Sigma$ be the order of the torsion subgroup of $H_1(\Sigma;\mathbb Z)$. For a contact form $\alpha$ on $\Sigma$, we denote by $\mathrm{Volume}(\alpha)$ the contact volume of…

We establish a relation between the growth of the cylindrical contact homology of a contact manifold and the topological entropy of Reeb flows on this manifold. We show that if a contact manifold $(M,\xi)$ admits a hypertight contact form…

We exhibit the first examples of contact structures on $S^{2n-1}$ with $n\geq 4$ and on $S^3\times S^2$, all equipped with their standard smooth structures, for which every Reeb flow has positive topological entropy. As a new technical tool…

In this note we show that a closed oriented contact manifold is obtained from the standard contact sphere of the same dimension by contact surgeries on isotropic and coisotropic spheres. In addition, we observe that all closed oriented…

We construct a dynamically convex contact form on the three-sphere whose systolic ratio is arbitrarily close to 2. This example is related to a conjecture of Viterbo, whose validity would imply that the systolic ratio of a convex contact…

We construct, for any given positive integer $n$, Reeb flows on contact integral homology 3-spheres which do not admit global surfaces of section with fewer than $n$ boundary components. We use a connected sum operation for open books to…

This paper is devoted to studying a notion of Bott integrability for Reeb flows on contact 3-manifolds. We show, in analogy with work of Fomenko-Zieschang on Hamiltonian flows in dimension 4, that Bott-integrable Reeb flows exist precisely…

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…
