Derived sheaves in locally conformally symplectic geometry

In this paper, we use derived sheaves to study rigidity phenomena in the cotangent bundles of manifolds endowed with some locally conformally symplectic ($\frak{lcs}$) structure. Taking inspiration from the work of Guillermou, Kashiwara and Shapira, we define a quantization for ``$\frak{lcs}$'' Hamiltonian isotopies, as well as new quantities: the asymptotic Betti numbers of a sheaf. We then show that those quantities are ``well behaved'' with respect of said quantization and use this to give a sheaf-theoretical proof of the Chantraine-Murphy theorem. We also consider the quantization in light of the Tamarkin morphism and the displacement energy of sheaves. This allows us to derive a non-squeezing theorem for $\frak{lcs}$ geometry that is similar, although not identical, to the one recently proven by Bertelson, Chakravarthy, and Sandon. Indeed, the result shown in this paper is more in line with the contact non-squeezing theorem shown by Eliashberg, Kim and Polterovich in 2006.

Morse-Novikov homology and $\beta$-critical points

Given a manifold $M$, some closed $\beta\in\Omega^1(M)$ and a map $f\in C^\infty(M)$, a $\beta$-critical point is some $x\in M$ such that $d_\beta f_{x}=0$ for the Lichnerowicz derivative $d_\beta$. In this paper, we will give a lower bound for the number of $\beta$-critical points of index $i$ of a $\beta$-Morse function $f$ in terms of the Morse-Novikov homology, and we generalize this result to generating functions (quadratic at infinity). We also give an application to the detection of essential Liouville chords of a set length. These are a type of chords that appear in locally conformally symplectic geometry as even-dimensional analogues to Reeb chords.

On the projection of exact Lagrangians in locally conformally symplectic geometry

In this paper, we construct examples of exact Lagrangians (of "locally conformally symplectic" type) in cotangent bundles of closed manifolds with locally conformally symplectic (lcs) structures and give conditions under which the projection induces a simple homotopy equivalence between an exact Lagrangian and the $0$-section of the cotangent bundle. This line of questioning leads us to investigate the links between the contact geometry of jet spaces and the lcs geometry of cotangent bundles. Among other things, we will study essential Liouville chords, which seem to be the lcs equivalent to Reeb chords. We will also see how Legendrians in jet spaces are an obstruction to the straightforward adaptation of the Abouzaid-Kragh theorem to lcs geometry.
