The singular Weinstein conjecture

In this article, we investigate Reeb dynamics on bm-contact manifolds, previously introduced in [37], which are contact away from a hypersurface Z but satisfy certain transversality conditions on Z. The study of these contact structures is motivated by that of contact manifolds with boundary. The se...

description In this article, we investigate Reeb dynamics on bm-contact manifolds, previously introduced in [37], which are contact away from a hypersurface Z but satisfy certain transversality conditions on Z. The study of these contact structures is motivated by that of contact manifolds with boundary. The search of periodic Reeb orbits on those manifolds thereby starts with a generalization of the well-known Weinstein conjecture. Contrary to the initial expectations, examples of compact bm-contact manifolds without periodic Reeb orbits outside Z are provided. Furthermore, we prove that in dimension 3, there are always infinitely many periodic orbits on the critical set if it is compact. We prove that traps for the bm-Reeb flow exist in any dimension. This investigation goes hand-in-hand with the Weinstein conjecture on non-compact manifolds having compact ends of convex type. In particular, we extend Hofer's arguments to open overtwisted contact manifolds that are R+-invariant in the open ends, obtaining as a corollary the existence of periodic bm-Reeb orbits away from the critical set. The study of bm-Reeb dynamics is motivated by well-known problems in fluid dynamics and celestial mechanics, where those geometric structures naturally appear.
