In this talk we introduce a type of surgery decomposition of Weinstein manifolds we call simplicial decompositions. We will discuss the result that the Chekanov-Eliashberg dg-algebra of the attaching spheres of a Weinstein manifold satisfies a...

The notion of positive (non-negative) contact isotopy, defined by Eliashberg and Polterovich, leads to two relations on the group of contactomorphisms. These relations resemble the causal relations of a Lorentzian manifold. In this talk we will...

We show that, for closed Legendrians in 1-jet bundles, when there is a sheaf with singular support on the Legendrian, then (1) its self Reeb chords are bounded from below by half the sum of Betti numbers, and (2) the Reeb chords between itself and...

This is joint work with Agustin Moreno and Dayung Koh. The restricted three-body problem is invariant under various antisymplectic involutions. These real structures give rise to the notion of symmetric periodic orbits which simultaneously have a...
