Topological entropy for Reeb vector fields in dimension three via open book decompositions
Journal de l’École polytechnique - Mathématiques, Volume 6 (2019), pp. 119-148.

Given an open book decomposition of a closed contact three manifold (M,ξ) with pseudo-Anosov monodromy, connected binding, and fractional Dehn twist coefficient c=k/n, we construct a Legendrian knot Λ close to the stable foliation of a page, together with a small Legendrian pushoff Λ ^. When k5, we apply the techniques of [CH13] to show that the strip Legendrian contact homology of ΛΛ ^ is well-defined and has an exponential growth property. The work [Alv19] then implies that all Reeb vector fields for ξ have positive topological entropy.

On associe à toute décomposition en livre ouvert d’une variété de contact close (M,ξ) de dimension 3, de monodromie pseudo-Anosov, de reliure connexe et de coefficient de Dehn fractionnaire c=k/n, un nœud legendrien Λ proche du feuilletage stable d’une page accompagné d’un petit translaté legendrien Λ ^. Lorsque k5, on applique les techniques de [CH13] pour montrer que l’homologie de contact legendrienne cylindrique de ΛΛ ^ est bien définie et a une propriété de croissance exponentielle. Le travail [Alv19] implique alors que tout champ de Reeb pour ξ a une entropie topologique non nulle.
