Legendrian submanifolds with Hamiltonian isotopic symplectizations (Q728329)

Given a cooriented contact manifold \((M,\xi=\ker\alpha)\), the symplectization of \((M,\xi)\) is the symplectic manifold \(({\mathbb R}\times M,\omega=d(e^t\alpha))\), where \(t\) is the coordinate on \({\mathbb R}\). If \(\Lambda\) is a Legendrian submanifold of \((M,\xi)\), then its symplectization \(S\Lambda={\mathbb R}\times\Lambda\) is a Lagrangian submanifold of \(({\mathbb R}\times M,\omega)\). In this work, the author considers the question of whether two Legendrian submanifolds of a (cooriented) contact manifold which have Hamiltonian isotopic symplectizations need to be Legendrian isotopic. The author provides a negative answer to this question. In particular, for any closed contact manifold \((M,\xi)\) of dimension greater than \(10\), closed Legendrian submanifolds \(\Lambda,\Lambda^\prime\) of \((M,\xi)\) are constructed such that \(\Lambda\) and \(\Lambda^\prime\) are not diffeomorphic, but the symplectizations \(S\Lambda\) and \(S\Lambda^\prime\) are Hamiltonian isotopic. This is a relative version of the question of whether two closed contact manifolds which have symplectomorphic symplectizations need to be contactomorphic. The latter question was also answered negatively by the author in [Geom. Topol. 18, 1--15 (2014; Zbl 1285.53067)]. The proof of the theorem follows from a general construction using Legendrian \(h\)-cobordisms and a Mazur-type trick. The author also goes on to show that the main question has a negative answer even if one assumes that the Legendrian submanifolds in question are diffeomorphic. In particular, the author gives two closed Legendrian submanifolds of \({\mathbb R}^{15}\) which are smoothly isotopic have Hamiltonian isotopic symplectizations but which are not Legendrian isotopic.
