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 $Σ (a_{1}, \dots, a_{n})$ , and give a complete description of the cylindrical contact homology for this $3$ –manifold equipped with its natural contact structure for any $a_{j}$ satisfying $1 ∕ a_{1} + \dots + 1 ∕ a_{n} < n - 2$ .
