Automorphism conjecture for indecomposable Legendrian subvarieties

About 20 years old · traced to

Let X⊂2n−1X\subset \P^{2n-1} be an irreducible indecomposable Legendrian subvariety, and let G<GL⁡2nG<\P\operatorname{GL}_{2n} be a connected subgroup preserving XX. Automorphism conjecture. Then GG is contained in the image of the natural map

Sp⁡2n⟶GL⁡2n.\operatorname{Sp}_{2n}\longrightarrow \P\operatorname{GL}_{2n}.

This conjecture asserts that connected projective automorphisms of an irreducible indecomposable Legendrian subvariety preserve the ambient contact structure. The paper proves it under minor assumptions, including in the smooth case, but the general singular case remains open.
