Symmetric periodic Reeb orbits on the sphere
@inproceedings{Abreu2022SymmetricPR, title={Symmetric periodic Reeb orbits on the sphere}, author={Miguel Abreu and Hui Li Liu and Leonardo Macarini}, year={2022} }
. A long standing conjecture in Hamiltonian Dynamics states that every contact form on the standard contact sphere S 2 n ` 1 has at least n ` 1 simple periodic Reeb orbits. In this work, we consider a refinement of this problem when the contact form has a suitable symmetry and we ask if there are at least n ` 1 simple symmetric periodic orbits. We show that there is at least one symmetric periodic orbit for any contact form and at least two symmetric closed orbits whenever the contact form is…

Closed Reeb orbits on the sphere and symplectically degenerate maxima
- Mathematics
- 2012
We show that the existence of one simple closed Reeb orbit of a particular type (a symplectically degenerate maximum) forces the Reeb flow to have infinitely many periodic orbits. We use this result…
Dynamical convexity and closed orbits on symmetric spheres
- Mathematics
- 2019
The main theme of this paper is the dynamics of Reeb flows with symmetries on the standard contact sphere. We introduce the notion of strong dynamical convexity for contact forms invariant under a…
Reeb orbits and the minimal discrepancy of an isolated singularity

Let A be an affine variety inside a complex N dimensional vector space which has an isolated singularity at the origin. The intersection of A with a very small sphere turns out to be a contact…

We introduce a local version of contact homology for an isolated periodic orbit of the Reeb flow and prove that its rank is uniformly bounded for isolated iterations. Several applications are…
Dynamical implications of convexity beyond dynamical convexity

We establish sharp dynamical implications of convexity on symmetric spheres that do not follow from dynamical convexity. It allows us to show the existence of elliptic and non-hyperbolic periodic…

We define Floer homology for a time-independent, or autonomous Hamiltonian on a symplectic manifold with contact type boundary, under the assumption that its 1-periodic orbits are transversally…

We develop a variant of Lusternik–Schnirelmann theory for the shift operator in equivariant Floer and symplectic homology. Our key result is that the spectral invariants are strictly decreasing under…

We define $S^1$-equivariant symplectic homology for symplectically aspherical manifolds with contact boundary, using a Floer-type construction first proposed by Viterbo. We show that it is related to…
