Weak positive-Legendrian-isotopy CROSS conjecture
Weak positive-Legendrian-isotopy CROSS conjecture
Let be a manifold of dimension at least . Let be its spherical cotangent bundle with the standard contact structure, and let be a positive Legendrian isotopy of with . For , assume that there is such that every satisfies for some . Weak positive-Legendrian-isotopy conjecture. Then is compact, its fundamental group is finite, and the integral cohomology ring of its universal cover is that of a CROSS. The source states that the compactness and fundamental-group conclusions are proved for isotopies arising from the specified null-geodesic construction, while the general conjecture remains open.
