Non-simplicity of formal contact isotopy classes of isocontact embeddings
Non-simplicity of formal contact isotopy classes of isocontact embeddings
Let be a positive integer, and let be the standard contact sphere. Consider isocontact embeddings of into , where denotes the unit cosphere bundle with its standard contact structure. Two such embeddings are formally contact isotopic when they are connected by an isotopy through formally isocontact embeddings. Non-simplicity conjecture. There exist infinitely many formally contact isotopic isocontact embeddings of into which are not contact isotopic. The claim would give infinitely many distinct contact-isotopy classes within a single formal class; the supplied source does not provide evidence resolving this conjecture.
