The Legendrian Whitney trick
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this article, we prove a Legendrian Whitney trick which allows for the removal of intersections between codimension-two contact submanifolds and submanifolds, assuming such smooth cancellation is possible. This technique applied to show existence h-principle embeddings with prescribed structure.

Eliminating Higher-Multiplicity Intersections, I. A Whitney Trick for Tverberg-Type Problems
Motivated by topological Tverberg-type problems in topological combinatorics and by classical results about embeddings (maps without double points), we study the question whether a finite simplicial complex K can be mapped into R without triple, quadruple, or, more generally, r-fold points (image points with at least r distinct preimages), for a given multiplicity r ≥ 2. In particular, we are i...
متن کاملLegendrian Mirrors and Legendrian Isotopy
We resolve a question of Fuchs and Tabachnikov by showing that there is a Legendrian knot in standard contact R with zero Maslov number which is not Legendrian isotopic to its mirror. The proof uses the differential graded algebras of Chekanov. A Legendrian knot in standard contact R is a knot which is everywhere tangent to the two-plane distribution induced by the contact one-form dz− y dx. Tw...
متن کاملLegendrian Surgeries on Stabilized Legendrian Links
We use Seiberg-Witten monopoles and Ozsváth-Szabó invariants to distinguish between tight contact structures obtained by Legendrian surgeries on stabilized Legendrian links in tight contact 3-manifolds.
متن کاملThe Legendrian Satellite Construction
The spaces R3 and S1 ×R2 both have a standard contact structure given by the kernel of the 1form dz−y dx, where we view the solid torus S1×R2 as R3 modulo the relation (x, y, z) ∼ (x+1, y, z). We will assume that the reader is familiar with some basic concepts in Legendrian knot theory, such as front projections, the Thurston-Bennequin number, and the rotation number; see, e.g., [8], which we w...
متن کاملIsotopies of Legendrian 1-knots and Legendrian 2-tori
We construct a Legendrian 2-torus in the 1-jet space of S × R (or of R) from a loop of Legendrian knots in the 1-jet space of R. The differential graded algebra (DGA) for the Legendrian contact homology of the torus is explicitly computed in terms of the DGA of the knot and the monodromy operator of the loop. The contact homology of the torus is shown to depend only on the chain homotopy type o...
