Legendrian Gauss-map rigidity under contact homeomorphisms
Legendrian Gauss-map rigidity under contact homeomorphisms
Let be a contact manifold and let be a Legendrian embedding. Consider contactomorphisms such that in the -topology, where is a homeomorphism. When is smooth, its Lagrangian Gauss map—the map from the Legendrian to determined by its tangent Lagrangian planes—should remain the same:
Legendrian Gauss-map rigidity conjecture. The diagram relating the Lagrangian Gauss maps of and commutes:
\begin{tikzcd}[row sep=4pt] \Lambda \ar[dr] \ar[dd, "\varphi_\infty" \left] & \\ & U/O \\ \varphi_\infty(\Lambda) \ar[ur] & \end{tikzcd}This would extend the known rigidity of Maslov data in cosphere bundles to general contact manifolds. The statement is motivated by the difficulty of cutting off contactomorphisms near closed Legendrians while preserving their -distance; its resolution in higher dimensions is not supplied here.
