The singular Weinstein conjecture

The study of these contact structures is motivated by that of contact manifolds with boundary. The sea...

Sumario:In this article, we investigate Reeb dynamics on bm-contact manifolds, previously introduced in [37], which are contact away from a hypersurface Zbut 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 Zare 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
