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.
