Periodic spectral-gap conjecture for contact homology

At least 3 years old · documented by

Let (Y,ξ)(Y,\xi) be a closed contact manifold with a periodic contact form α\alpha of period TT. Let CH(Y,ξ)CH(Y,\xi) denote contact homology, sσ(Y,α)\mathfrak{s}_\sigma(Y,\alpha) the spectral invariant of a class σ\sigma, and UPU_P a UU-map. Periodic spectral-gap conjecture. There exists a class σ∈CH(Y,ξ)\sigma\in CH(Y,\xi) and a UU-map UPU_P such that

sUPσ(Y,α)=sσ(Y,α)=T.\mathfrak{s}_{U_P\sigma}(Y,\alpha)=\mathfrak{s}_\sigma(Y,\alpha)=T.

This conjecture generalizes the paper's periodic spectral-gap theorem from the special setting considered there to arbitrary periodic contact forms; the source suggests a proof using Morse functions on the orbifold of closed Reeb orbits, intersection theory, and automatic transversality.
