Symplectic cobordisms between stable Hamiltonian structures

A stable Hamiltonian structure on a closed oriented
-manifold
is a pair
where
is a
-form and
is a nowhere zero closed
-form such that the relation
holds and
for some smooth function
on
. This generalizes the notion of a contact structure in the following sense: for a contact form
on
the pair
±
is a stable Hamiltonian structure. The notion of a symplectic cobordism between contact structures generalizes to the case of stable Hamiltonian structures in a straightforward way. The main concern of the talk is the problem of existence of a symplectic cobordism between two given stable Hamiltonian structures. We will illustrate this problem on concrete examples always looking back at the simpler case of contact structures.
