On the strong Arnold chord conjecture for convex contact forms
Abstract
The original Arnold chord conjecture states that every closed Legendrian submanifold of the standard contact sphere $S^{2n-1}$ admits a Reeb chord with distinct endpoints with respect to any contact form. In this paper, we prove this conjecture for contact forms induced by strictly convex embeddings into $\mathbb{R}^{2n}$ under the assumption that minimal periodic Reeb orbits are of Morse-Bott type. We also provide a counterexample when the convexity condition is not satisfied.
