We prove that the minimum number of critical points of a Weinstein Morse function on a Weinstein domain of dimension at least six is at most two more than the minimum number of critical points of a smooth Morse function on that domain; if the domain has non-zero middle-dimensional homology, these two numbers agree. There is also an upper bound on the number of gradient trajectories between critical points in smoothly trivial Weinstein cobordisms. As an application, we show that the number of generators for the Grothendieck group of the wrapped Fukaya category is at most the number of generators for singular cohomology and hence vanishes for any Weinstein ball. We also give a topological obstruction to the existence of finite-dimensional representations of the Chekanov-Eliashberg DGA of Legendrian spheres.

For any high-dimensional Weinstein domain and finite collection of primes, we construct a Weinstein subdomain whose wrapped Fukaya category is a localization of the original wrapped Fukaya category away from the given primes. When the original domain is a cotangent bundle, these subdomains form a decreasing lattice whose order cannot be reversed. Furthermore, we classify the possible wrapped Fukaya categories of Weinstein subdomains of a cotangent bundle of a simply connected, spin manifold, showing that they all coincide with one of these prime localizations. In the process, we describe which twisted complexes in the wrapped Fukaya category of a cotangent bundle of a sphere are isomorphic to genuine Lagrangians.
We prove that closed connected contact manifolds of dimension $geq 5$ related by an h-cobordism with a flexible Weinstein structure become contactomorphic after some kind of stabilization. We also provide examples of non-conjugate contact structures on a closed manifold with exact symplectomorphic symplectizations.
We develop explicit local operations that may be applied to Liouville domains, with the goal of simplifying the dynamics of the Liouville vector field. These local operations, which are Liouville homotopies, are inspired by the techniques used by Honda and Huang in [HH19] to show that convex hypersurfaces are $C^0$-generic in contact manifolds. As an application, we use our operations to show that Mitsumatsus well-known Liouville-but-not-Weinstein domains are stably Weinstein, answering a question asked by Huang in [Hua20].
We prove that geometric intersections between Weinstein handles induce algebraic relations in the wrapped Fukaya category, which we use to study the Grothendieck group. We produce a surjective map from middle-dimensional singular cohomology to the Grothendieck group, show that the geometric acceleration map to symplectic cohomology factors through the categorical Dennis trace map, and introduce a Viterbo functor for $C^0$-close Weinstein hypersurfaces, which gives an obstruction for Legendrians to be $C^0$-close. We show that symplectic flexibility is a geometric manifestation of Thomasons correspondence between split-generating subcategories and subgroups of the Grothendieck group, which we use to upgrade Abouzaids split-generation criterion to a generation criterion for Weinstein domains. Thomasons theorem produces exotic presentations for certain categories and we give geometric analogs: exotic Weinstein presentations for standard cotangent bundles and Legendrians whose Chekanov-Eliashberg algebras are not quasi-isomorphic but are derived Morita equivalent.
We study the interactions between toric manifolds and Weinstein handlebodies. We define a partially-centered condition on a Delzant polytope, which we prove ensures that the complement of a corresponding partial smoothing of the toric divisor supports an explicit Weinstein structure. Many examples which fail this condition also fail to have Weinstein (or even exact) complement to the partially smoothed divisor. We investigate the combinatorial possibilities of Delzant polytopes that realize such Weinstein domain complements. We also develop an algorithm to construct a Weinstein handlebody diagram in Gompf standard form for the complement of such a partially smoothed toric divisor. The algorithm we develop more generally outputs a Weinstein handlebody diagram for any Weinstein 4-manifold constructed by attaching 2-handles to the disk cotangent bundle of any surface $F$, where the 2-handles are attached along the co-oriented conormal lifts of curves on $F$. We discuss how to use these diagrams to calculate invariants and provide numerous examples applying this procedure. For example, we provide Weinstein handlebody diagrams for the complements of the smooth and nodal cubics in $mathbb{CP}^2$.
