Legendrian Barriers

Emmanuel Opshtein

In a previous work with Felix Schlenk, we showed that an analogue of the phenomenon of Lagrangian barriers holds in the contact framework in S3 : there exist (explicit) Legendrian complexes of arcs in S3 that have short Reeb chords to many...

We consider the symplectic area functional, constrained to loops of vanishing Hamiltonian mean value: It has the same critical points as the Rabinowitz action functional, and can be used to define a similar Floer homology. In contrast to RFH, it...

Given a symplectic 4-manifold it may admit multiple toric fibrations. These can be seen as boundary points of the moduli space of almost toric fibrations. We will sketch that all toric fibrations are in the same connected component of this moduli...
