On the knot types of periodic Reeb orbits of dynamically convex contact forms

Abstract

We exhibit transverse knot types on the standard contact 3-sphere that cannot be realized as periodic Reeb orbits of a dynamically convex contact form. In particular, such transverse knot types do not arise as closed characteristics of strictly convex energy levels on a four dimensional symplectic vector space.
