Abstract: A positive contactomorphism of a contact manifold $M$ is the end point of a contact isotopy on $M$ that is always positively transverse to the contact structure. Assume that $M$ contains a Legendrian sphere $Lambda$, and that $(M,Lambda)$ is fillable by a Liouville domain $(W,omega)$ with exact Lagrangian $L$ such that $omega{|}_{p{i}_2(W,L)}=0$. We show that if the exponential growth of the action filtered wrapped Floer homology of $(W,L)$ is positive, then every positive contactomorphism of $M$ has positive topological entropy. This result generalizes the result of Alves and Meiwes from Reeb flows to positive contactomorphisms, and it yields many examples of contact manifolds on which every positive contactomorphism has positive topological entropy, among them the exotic contact spheres found by Alves and Meiwes. A main step in the proof is to show that wrapped Floer homology is isomorphic to the positive part of Lagrangian Rabinowitz-Floer homology.

Review text

Let \((W,\omega,\lambda)\) be a Liouville domain with compact contact boundary \((M,\xi= \ker\lambda/M)\), let \(L\) be an asymptotically conical exact Lagrangian with connected Legendrian boundary \(\Lambda=\partial L\) such that \((\lambda,L)\) is regular. The symplectic growth of the pair \((W,L)\) is defined as the growth in dimension of the filtered wrapped Floer homology: \[\Gamma_{\text{symp}}(W,L)= \Gamma(\dim_{\text{id}} WH^\alpha(W,L)).\] It is proved that if \(\Gamma_{\text{symp}}(W,L)> 0\), then the topology entropy of every positive contactomorphism of \((M,\xi)\) is positive.
