AbstractWe classify global surfaces of section for the Reeb flow of the standard contact form on the 3-sphere (defining the Hopf fibration), with boundaries oriented positively by the flow. As an application, we prove the degree-genus formula for complex projective curves, using an elementary degeneration process inspired by the language of holomorphic buildings in symplectic field theory.

We construct a determinantal family of quarto-quartic transformations of a complex projective space of dimension [Formula: see text] from trigonal curves of degree [Formula: see text] and genus [Formula: see text]. Moreover, we show that the variety of [Formula: see text]-birational maps of [Formula: see text] has at least four irreducible components and describe three of them.

We introduce a local version of contact homology for an isolated periodic orbit of the Reeb flow and prove that its rank is uniformly bounded for isolated iterations. Several applications are obtained, including a generalization of Gromoll–Meyer's theorem on the existence of infinitely many simple periodic orbits, resonance relations and conditions for the existence of non-hyperbolic periodic orbits. Most of the results of this paper remain conjectural until the foundational issues of Symplectic Field Theory are resolved.
