Stabilization of divisors in high-dimensional contact manifolds
Abstract
A stabilization operation is defined for codimension $2$ contact submanifolds in $\dim \geq 5$ contact manifolds $(M, \xi)$. The definition is such that (1) a given $(M, \xi)$ is overtwisted iff its standard transverse unknot is stabilized and (2) transverse stabilization preserves the formal contact isotopy class and intrinsic contact structure of a link. We prove that many transverse links are non-simple.
