On the relation between action and linking (Q2046806)

The authors focus on numerical invariants of contact forms in dimension three. Some questions related to the application of these invariants in geometry of contact forms (periodic orbits, Reeb flows, contact volume, systolic norm, Reinhardt domains, Seifert surfaces, etc.) are formulated. The main result is so-called Action-Linking Lemma that contains an important identity for every adapted Seifert surface in a contact manifold.
