1:00pm|Fine Hall 401

We adapt the construction of global Kuranishi charts to the moduli space of genus 0 SFT buildings. Using these charts, we associate a flow category with any non-degenerate contact manifold where the objects are collections of Reeb orbits and...

Legendrian Barriers
Emmanuel Opshtein
9:15am|Remote Access

In a previous work with Felix Schlenk, we showed that an analogue of the phenomenon of Lagrangian barriers holds in the contact framework in $S^3$ : there exist (explicit) Legendrian complexes of arcs in $S^3$ that have short Reeb chords to many...
