Formal isotopy detection by contact push-offs
Formal isotopy detection by contact push-offs
Let be a positive integer, and let be the standard contact sphere. Let be smooth Legendrian submanifolds that are formally Legendrian isotopic, meaning isotopic through formally Legendrian embeddings. For a Legendrian submanifold , let denote its contact push-off, obtained from the contact submanifold
under a contactomorphism from a neighborhood of to . Contact push-off conjecture. If and are contact isotopic, then and are Legendrian isotopic. The conjecture asks whether the contact push-off retains enough information to detect the Legendrian isotopy class among formally Legendrian isotopic submanifolds; its status is not resolved in the supplied source.
