The paper studies contact topology submanifolds and their rigidity.

Study uses barcode theory to bound displacement energy of Legendrian submanifolds.

Examples are given of prime Legendrian knots in the standard contact 3-space that have arbitrarily many distinct Chekanov polynomials, refuting a conjecture of Lenny Ng. These are constructed using a new `Legendrian tangle replacement' technique. This technique is then used to show that the phenomenon of multiple Cheka…

We provide a translation between Chekanov's combinatorial theory for invariants of Legendrian knots in the standard contact R^3 and a relative version of Eliashberg and Hofer's Contact Homology. We use this translation to transport the idea of ``coherent orientations'' from the Contact Homology world to Chekanov's comb…

This paper explores twisted Lagrangian tori in C^2 and their Hamiltonian stationarity.

We prove a Chekanov-type theorem for the spherization of the cotangent bundle $ST^*B$ of a closed manifold $B$. It claims that for Legendrian submanifolds in $ST^*B$ the property "to be given by a generating family quadratic at infinity" persists under Legendrian isotopies.

The paper studies how Lagrangian cobordisms affect DGAs of Legendrian ends.

We link Ginzburg algebras to Weinstein manifolds and Legendrian knots.

Study on curvature decay in steady Ricci solitons, proving dichotomy.

Extends Hopf-Tsuji-Sullivan dichotomy to higher rank groups and applies to Anosov subgroups.

Study Legendrian graph invariants via augmentation and ruling polynomials.

Discusses the tight versus overtwisted dichotomy in 3D contact geometry.

Improves predictive performance of nested dichotomies.

Nested dichotomies for multiclass tasks often fail to calibrate probabilities.

The Chekanov theorem generalizes the classic Lyusternik-Shnirel'man and Morse theorems concerning critical points of a smooth function on a closed manifold. A Legendrian submanifold Λof space of 1-jets of the functions on a manifold M defines a multi-valued function whose graph is the projection of Λin J^0 M = M x R. T…

Study of Matsumoto maps on foliated bundles over hyperbolic manifolds.

Given a front projection of a Legendrian knot $K$ in $\mathbb{R}^{3}$ which has been cut into several pieces along vertical lines, we assign a differential graded algebra to each piece and prove a van Kampen theorem describing the Chekanov-Eliashberg invariant of $K$ as a pushout of these algebras. We then use this the…

Uniform boundedness of Riesz transforms on Riemannian manifolds is established with a dichotomy.

We study satellites of Legendrian knots in R^3 and their relation to the Chekanov-Eliashberg differential graded algebra of the knot. In particular, we generalize the well-known correspondence between rulings of a Legendrian knot in R^3 and augmentations of its DGA by showing that the DGA has finite-dimensional represe…

A system of nested dichotomies is a method of decomposing a multi-class problem into a collection of binary problems. Such a system recursively splits the set of classes into two subsets, and trains a binary classifier to distinguish between each subset. Even though ensembles of nested dichotomies with random structure…

New algebra defined for Legendrian submanifolds, preserving key invariants.

Differential graded algebra invariants are constructed for Legendrian links in the 1-jet space of the circle. In parallel to the theory for R^3, Poincare-Chekanov polynomials and characteristic algebras can be associated to such links. The theory is applied to distinguish various knots, as well as links that are closur…

Real torus in $S^2 imes S^2$ not Hamiltonian isotopic to Clifford torus.

We offer the following explanation of the statement of the Kuratowski graph planarity criterion and of 6/7 of the statement of the Robertson-Seymour-Thomas intrinsic linking criterion. Let us call a cell complex 'dichotomial' if to every cell there corresponds a unique cell with the complementary set of vertices. Then …

The study proves a dichotomy for minimal hypersurfaces in certain thick manifolds.

Anosov groups' measures on limit sets are uniquely determined by their dimension.

We define new Hamiltonian isotopy invariants for a monotone Lagrangian torus embedded in a symplectic 4-manifold. We show that, in the standard symplectic 4-space, these invariants distinguish a monotone Clifford torus from a Chekanov torus.

We strengthen the link between holomorphic and generating-function invariants of Legendrian knots by establishing a formula relating the number of augmentations of a knot's contact homology to the complete ruling invariant of Chekanov and Pushkar.

We resolve a question of Fuchs and Tabachnikov by showing that there is a Legendrian knot in standard contact three-space with zero Maslov number which is not Legendrian isotopic to its mirror. The proof uses the differential graded algebras of Chekanov.

TQFT invariants are either easy or hard to compute, depending on the TQFT type.

The Chekanov-Eliashberg differential graded algebra of a Legendrian knot L is a rich source of Legendrian knot invariants, as is the theory of generating families. The set P(L) of homology groups of augmentations of the Chekanov-Eliashberg algebra is an invariant, as is a count of objects from the theory of generating …

We examine the Legendrian analogue of the topological satellite construction for knots, and deduce some results for specific Legendrian knots and links in standard contact three-space and the solid torus. In particular, we show that the Chekanov-Eliashberg contact homology invariants of Legendrian Whitehead doubles of …

The paper explores actions on metric spaces similar to 3D manifolds, proving rigidity results.

The paper studies ergodicity of flows on subspaces, generalizing earlier work.

We study naturality properties of the transverse invariant in knot Floer homology under contact (+1)-surgery. This can be used as a calculational tool for the transverse invariant. As a consequence, we show that the Eliashberg-Chekanov twist knots E_n are not transversely simple for n odd and n>3.

The paper studies knot types of clean intersections in a 3D space.

We establish tools to facilitate the computation and application of the Chekanov-Eliashberg differential graded algebra (DGA), a Legendrian-isotopy invariant of Legendrian knots in standard contact three-space. More specifically, we reformulate the DGA in terms of front projection, and introduce the characteristic alge…

Legendrian contact homology studies knots in 3D space.

For any Legendrian knot in (R^3,ker(dz-ydx)), we show that the existence of an augmentation to any field of the Chekanov-Eliashberg differential graded algebra over Z[t,t^{-1}] is equivalent to the existence of a ruling of the front diagram, generalizing results of Fuchs, Ishkhanov, and Sabloff. We also show that any e…

New theory shows perishable goods markets are more stable and efficient.

The study quantifies how many objects can be linearly classified under all views.

We establish relationships between two classes of invariants of Legendrian knots in $\mathbb{R}^3$: Representation numbers of the Chekanov-Eliashberg DGA and satellite ruling polynomials. For positive permutation braids, $β\subset J^1S^1$, we give a precise formula in terms of representation numbers for the $m$-graded …

Explains examples of Lagrangian flow with circle symmetry.

We study an $A_\infty$ category associated to Legendrian links in $\mathbb{R}^3$ whose objects are $n$-dimensional representations of the Chekanov-Eliashberg differential graded algebra of the link. This representation category generalizes the positive augmentation category and we conjecture that it is equivalent to a …
