Legendrian Gronwall conjecture for Legendrian 3-webs
Legendrian Gronwall conjecture for Legendrian 3-webs
Let be a connected contact three-manifold. A Legendrian 3-web on is a set of three pairwise transversal foliations by Legendrian curves. A local linearization is a contactomorphism from an open subset of into that maps every leaf of the foliations to a Legendrian line.
Legendrian Gronwall conjecture. Every Legendrian 3-web admits at most one distinct local linearization in , except when it is locally equivalent to the dual 3-web of the Legendrian twisted cubic curve in ; in that exceptional case it admits exactly two distinct local linearizations.
This is the proposed Legendrian analogue of the classical Gronwall conjecture for planar 3-webs, which relates failure of unique linearization to algebraicity. The source presents the assertion as an open conjecture; it also states that the number of local linearizations is uniformly bounded and proves rigidity under suitable flatness assumptions.
