In this article, we prove a Legendrian Whitney trick which allows for the removal of intersections between codimension-two contact submanifolds and Legendrian submanifolds, assuming such a smooth cancellation is possible. This technique is applied to show the existence h-principle for codimension-two contact embeddings with a prescribed contact structure.

In this paper we prove a convexity and fibre-connectedness theorem for proper maps constructed by Thimms trick on a connected Hamiltonian $G$-space $M$ that generate a Hamiltonian torus action on an open dense submanifold. Since these maps only generate a Hamiltonian torus action on an open dense submanifold of $M$, convexity and fibre-connectedness do not follow immediately from Atiyah-Guillemin-Sternbergs convexity theorem, even if $M$ is compact. The core contribution of this paper is to provide a simple argument circumventing this difficulty. In the case where the map is constructed from a chain of subalgebras we prove that the image is given by a list of inequalities that can be computed explicitly. This generalizes the famous example of Gelfand-Zeitlin systems on coadjoint orbits introduced by Guillemin and Sternberg. Moreover, we prove that if such a map generates a completely integrable torus action on an open dense submanifold of $M$, then all its fibres are smooth embedded submanifolds.
Let $X$ be a Weinstein manifold with ideal contact boundary $Y$. If $Lambdasubset Y$ is a link of Legendrian spheres in $Y$ then by attaching Weinstein handles to $X$ along $Lambda$ we get a Weinstein cobordism $X_{Lambda}$ with a collection of Lagrangian co-core disks $C$ corresponding to $Lambda$. In cite{BEE, EL} it was shown that the wrapped Floer cohomology $CW^{ast}(C)$ of $C$ in the Weinstein manifold $X_{Lambda}=Xcup X_{Lambda}$is naturally isomorphic to the Legendrian differential graded algebra $CE^{ast}(Lambda)$ of $Lambda$ in $Y$. The argument uses properties of moduli spaces of holomorphic curves, the proofs of which were only sketched. The purpose of this paper is to provide proofs of these properties.
Sivek proves a van Kampen decomposition theorem for the combinatorial Legendrian contact algebra (also known as the Chekanov-Eliashberg algebra) of knots in standard contact $R^3$ . We prove an analogous result for the holomorphic curve version of the Legendrian contact algebra of certain Legendrians submanifolds in standard contact $J^1(M).$ This includes all 1- and 2-dimensional Legendrians, and some higher dimensional ones. We present various applications including a Mayer-Vietoris sequence for linearized contact homology similar to Siveks and a connect sum formula for the augmentation variety introduced by Ng. The main tool is the theory of gradient flow trees developed by Ekholm.
The Thurston-Bennequin invariant provides one notion of self-linking for any homologically-trivial Legendrian curve in a contact three-manifold. Here we discuss related analytic notions of self-linking for Legendrian knots in Euclidean space. Our definition is based upon a reformulation of the elementary Gauss linking integral and is motivated by ideas from supersymmetric gauge theory. We recover the Thurston-Bennequin invariant as a special case.
In this article we study Weinstein structures endowed with a Lefschetz fibration in terms of the Legendrian front projection. First we provide a systematic recipe for translating from a Weinstein Lefschetz bifibration to a Legendrian handlebody. Then we present several applications of this technique to symplectic topology. This includes the detection of flexibility and rigidity for several families of Weinstein manifolds and the existence of closed exact Lagrangian submanifolds. In addition, we prove that the Koras--Russell cubic is Stein deformation equivalent to affine complex 3-space and verify the affine parts of the algebraic mirrors of two Weinstein 4-manifolds.
