Abstract
The goal of this project is (1) to extend certain results of the theory of pseudo-holomorphic curves in simplectization of contact 3-manifolds and (2) to study the aspects of topological Reeb flow on a contact 3-manifold. The theory of simplectization, initiated by H. Hofer in 1993, was developed in the last 15 years by H. Hofer, K. Wysocki and E. Zehnder. One goal of this theory is to un…
