Non-contractible loops of Legendrian tori from families of knots (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
The unit cotangent bundle of the Euclidean space R3 has a canonical contact structure. In this talk, we discuss loops of Legendrian tori in this 5-dimensional contact manifold. In particular, we focus on loops arising as families of the unit conormal bundles of knots in R3, and I will explain a topological method to compute the monodromy on the Legendrian contact homology in degree 0 induced by those loops. As an application, we get examples of non-contractible loops of Legendrian tori which are contractible in the space of smoothly embedded tori. This is joint work with Marián Poppr.
