Symplectic Geometry Seminar
Orderability and the Contact Hofer Norm
In this talk we discuss a relation between the contact version
of the Hofer norm and positive loops of contactomorphisms.
This leads to a new criterion for the existence of contractible positive
loops in terms of open book decompositions and previously unknown
examples of non-orderable contact manifolds.
The talk is based on joint work with Egor Shelukhin.
