Operations on Legendrian submanifolds
Abstract
We focus on Legendrian submanifolds of the space of one-jets of functions, $J^1(\mathbb{R}^n,\mathbb{R})$. We are interested in processes - operations - that build new Legendrian submanifolds from old ones. We introduce in particular two operations, namely the sum and the convolution, which in some sense lift to $J^1(\mathbb{R}^n,\mathbb{R})$ the operations sum and infimal-convolution on functions that belong to convex analysis. We show that these operations fit well with the classical theory of generating functions. Finally, we refine this theory so that the min-max selector of generating functions plays its natural role.
