Arnold's chord conjecture for Legendrian submanifolds of the contact sphere

Let α\alpha be a contact form on the standard contact sphere (S2n1,ξstd)(S^{2n-1},\xi_{\mathrm{std}}). A Reeb chord of a closed Legendrian submanifold Λ\Lambda is a Reeb trajectory of α\alpha whose endpoints lie on Λ\Lambda. Arnold's chord conjecture. Every closed Legendrian submanifold Λ\Lambda of S2n1S^{2n-1} has a Reeb chord. The conjecture asserts the existence of Reeb chords for arbitrary contact forms on the standard contact sphere; it was confirmed by Mohnke.
