Symplectic aspects of Floer homology and cohomology (53D40) Floer homology (57R58)

Abstract: We study Liouville fillable contact manifolds $(Sigma,xi)$ with non-zero Rabinowitz Floer homology and assign spectral numbers to paths of contactomorphisms. As a consequence we prove that $widetildemathrm{Cont}_0(Sigma,xi)$ is orderable in the sense of Eliashberg and Polterovich. This provides a new class of orderable contact manifolds. If the contact manifold is in addition periodic or a prequantization space $Mimes{S}^1$ for $M$ a Liouville manifold, then we construct a contact capacity. This can be used to prove a general non-squeezing result, which amongst other examples in particular recovers the beautiful non-squeezing results from [EKP06].
