Non-equivariant cylindrical contact homology

It was pointed out by Eliashberg in his ICM 2006 plenary talk that the integrable systems of rational Gromov-Witten theory very naturally appear in the rich algebraic formalism of symplectic field theory (SFT).Carefully generalizing the definition of gravitational descendants from Gromov-Witten theory to SFT, one can assign to every contact …
