Reductions: precontact versus presymplectic

K Grabowska, J Grabowski - Annali di Matematica Pura ed Applicata (1923 …, 2023 - Springer
We show that contact reductions can be described in terms of symplectic reductions in the
traditional Marsden–Weinstein–Meyer as well as the constant rank picture. The point is that …

Remarks on the oscillation energy of Legendrian isotopies

D Cant - Geometriae Dedicata, 2023 - Springer
We construct non-compact contact manifolds containing compact Legendrians which can be
displaced from their Reeb flow with arbitrarily small oscillation energy. We use this to show …

Spectral selectors and contact orderability

S Allais, PA Arlove - arXiv preprint arXiv:2309.10578, 2023 - arxiv.org
We study the notion of orderability of isotopy classes of Legendrian submanifolds and their
universal covers, with some weaker results concerning spaces of contactomorphisms. Our …

Local rigidity, contact homeomorphisms, and conformal factors

M Usher - arXiv preprint arXiv:2001.08729, 2020 - arxiv.org
We show that if the image of a Legendrian submanifold under a contact homeomorphism (ie
a homeomorphism that is a $ C^ 0$-limit of contactomorphisms) is smooth then it is …

Non-orderability and the contact Hofer norm

J Hedicke, E Shelukhin - arXiv preprint arXiv:2411.19887, 2024 - arxiv.org
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 …

The persistence of a relative Rabinowitz-Floer complex

GD Rizell, MG Sullivan - arXiv preprint arXiv:2111.11975, 2021 - arxiv.org
We give a quantitative refinement of the invariance of the Legendrian contact homology
algebra in general contact manifolds. We show that in this general case, the Lagrangian …

-limits of Legendrians and positive loops

GD Rizell, MG Sullivan - arXiv preprint arXiv:2212.09190, 2022 - arxiv.org
We show that the image of a Legendrian submanifold under a homeomorphism that is the $
C^ 0$-limit of a sequence of contactomorphisms is again Legendrian, if the image of the …

Lorentzian distance functions in contact geometry

J Hedicke - Journal of Topology and Analysis, 2024 - World Scientific
An important tool to analyse the causal structure of a Lorentzian manifold is given by the
Lorentzian distance function. We define a class of Lorentzian distance functions on the …

[HTML][HTML] Hausdorff limits of submanifolds of symplectic and contact manifolds

JP Chassé - Differential Geometry and its Applications, 2024 - Elsevier
We study sequences of immersions respecting bounds coming from Riemannian geometry
and apply the ensuing results to the study of sequences of submanifolds of symplectic and …

-limits of Legendrian Submanifolds

L Nakamura - arXiv preprint arXiv:2008.00924, 2020 - arxiv.org
Laudenbach and Sikorav proved that closed, half-dimensional non-Lagrangian
submanifolds of symplectic manifolds are immediately displaceable as long as there is no …
