Cylindrical contact homology of $3$–dimensional Brieskorn manifolds

Sebastian Haney and Thomas E Mark

Algebraic & Geometric Topology 22 (2022) 153–187
Abstract

Cylindrical contact homology for contact 3–manifolds is a comparatively simple incarnation of symplectic field theory whose existence and invariance under suitable hypotheses was recently established by Hutchings and Nelson (and, in a slightly different form, by Bao and Honda). We study this invariant for a general Brieskorn 3–manifold Σ(a1,,an), and give a complete description of the cylindrical contact homology for this 3–manifold equipped with its natural contact structure for any aj satisfying 1a1 + + 1an < n 2.

Keywords
contact homology, Brieskorn spheres, contact 3–manifolds
