Open books on contact five-manifolds

Otto van Koert (2008)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

By using open book techniques we give an alternative proof of a theorem about the existence of contact structures on five-manifolds due to Geiges. The theorem asserts that simply-connected five-manifolds admit a contact structure in every homotopy class of almost contact structures.

Rabinowitz Floer homology and symplectic homology

Kai Cieliebak, Urs Frauenfelder, Alexandru Oancea (2010)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

The first two authors have recently defined Rabinowitz Floer homology groups R F H * ( M , W ) associated to a separating exact embedding of a contact manifold ( M , ξ ) into a symplectic manifold ( W , ω ) . These depend only on the bounded component V of W M . We construct a long exact sequence in which symplectic cohomology of V maps to symplectic homology of V , which in turn maps to Rabinowitz Floer homology R F H * ( M , W ) , which then maps to symplectic cohomology of V . We compute R F H * ( S T * L , T * L ) , where S T * L is the unit cosphere bundle of a closed manifold...

Some lagrangian invariants of symplectic manifolds

Michel Nguiffo Boyom (2007)

Banach Center Publications

The KV-homology theory is a new framework which yields interesting properties of lagrangian foliations. This short note is devoted to relationships between the KV-homology and the KV-cohomology of a lagrangian foliation. Let us denote by F (resp. V F ) the KV-algebra (resp. the space of basic functions) of a lagrangian foliation F. We show that there exists a pairing of cohomology and homology to V F . That is to say, there is a bilinear map H q ( F , V F ) × H q ( F , V F ) V F , which is invariant under F-preserving symplectic diffeomorphisms....
