Abstract

Kauffman virtual knots are knots in thickened surfaces $F\times R$ considered up to isotopy, stabilizations and destabilizations, and diffeomorphisms of $F\times R$ induced by orientation preserving diffeomorphisms of $F$. Similarly, virtual Legendrian knots, introduced by Cahn and Levi~\cite{CahnLevi}, are Legendrian knots in $ST^*F$ with the natural contact structure. Virtual Legendrian knots are considered up to isotopy, stabilization and destabilization of the surface away from the front projection of the Legendrian knot, as well as up to contact isomorphisms of $ST^*F$ induced by orientation preserving diffeomorphisms of $F$. We show that there is a projection operation $proj$ from the set of virtual isotopy classes of Legendrian knots to the set of isotopy classes of Legendrian knots in $ST^*S^2$. This projection is obtained by substituting some of the classical crossings of the front diagram for a virtual crossing. It restricts to the identity map on the set of virtual isotopy classes of classical Legendrian knots. In particular, the projection $proj$ extends invariants of Legendrian knots to invariants of virtual Legendrian knots. Using the projection $proj$, we show that the virtual crossing number of every classical Legendrian knot equals its crossing number. We also prove that the virtual canonical genus of a Legendrian knot is equal to the canonical genus. The construction of $proj$ is inspired by the work of Manturov.

Extended Future Tube Conjecture for Unipotent Subgroups

Let $\Omega$ be the Lorentz future cone in $\mathbb{R}^{d+1}$ with respect to the Lorentz product and let $T^M$ be the $M$-fold product of the future tube $T=\mathbb{R}^{d+1}+i\Omega$. The Lorentz group $\mathrm{SO}_0(1,d)$ acts diagonally on $T^M$, and its complexification $\mathrm{SO}(1,d)^\mathbb{C}$ acts on $\mathbb{C}^{(d+1)\times M}$. We prove that the domain $G^\mathbb{C}\cdot T^M$ is a Stein manifold for any connected unipotent subgroup $G$ of $\mathrm{SO}_0(1,d)$.

The First Correction Term in the Asymptotic Expansion of Bohr--Sommerfeld Lagrangian States

Let $\Lambda$ be a compact Bohr--Sommerfeld Lagrangian submanifold of a compact K\"ahler manifold equipped with a holomorphic prequantum line bundle. We study the asymptotic expansion of the Lagrangian states associated with $\Lambda$. In particular, we compute explicitly the first nontrivial correction term and show that it is expressed in terms of geometric invariants of the ambient K\"ahler manifold and the Lagrangian submanifold, including their scalar curvatures, the second fundamental form, and the mean curvature. As a consequence, we obtain the corresponding second-order asymptotic formula for the $L^2$-norm of the Lagrangian states.

Classification of Legendrian doubles and suspensions

We define a construction of Legendrians inside contact manifolds that arise by doubling an exact Lagrangian filling in the page of an open book decomposition. This can be seen as a generalization of a previous construction by Courte and Ekholm to arbitrary open books. These Legendrians, called Legendrian doubles, are shown to admit regular flexible exact Lagrangian fillings, and they are thus classified up to Legendrian isotopy by classical data. Finally, we show that the Legendrian suspension construction, as defined by Arikan and the author in previous work,-this is a Legendrian contained inside a page of an open book that is obtained by using Seidel's suspension of Lefschetz fibrations- is a Legendrian double.
