A theorem on the structure of wave fronts and its applications in symplectic topology (Q1109384)

A combinatorial theorem on the structure of wave fronts is stated and, as its corollaries, results announced earlier in [the author, Rigidity of symplectic and contact structures, Proc. VII Intern. Topology Conf., Leningrad 1982] are proved. In particular, it is shown that the group of symplectic diffeomorphisms is \(C^ 0\)-closed in the group of all diffeomorphisms and new obstructions to the existence of symplectic and Lagrangean embeddings and Legendre isotopy are constructed.
