The singular Weinstein conjecture for b-contact manifolds

At least 5 years old · documented by

Let (M,Z,α)(M,Z,\alpha) be a compact bmb^m-contact manifold, with critical set ZZ. A singular periodic orbit is an integral curve of the Reeb bb-vector field in M∖ZM\setminus Z whose limits as t→±∞t\to\pm\infty are points of ZZ. The singular Weinstein conjecture. There exists at least one singular periodic orbit or one periodic orbit outside of the critical set. The paper constructs counterexamples to this claim, so it is refuted.
