Definition of Cylindrical Contact Homology in dimension three
arXiv:1412.0276 · doi:10.1112/topo.12077
Abstract
In this paper we give a rigorous definition of cylindrical contact homology for contact $3$-manifolds that admit nondegenerate contact forms with no contractible Reeb orbits, and show that the cylindrical contact homology is an invariant of the contact structure.
A figure and some details are added to increase readability. This version is accepted for publication by the Journal of Topology
