Let @math be a contact form on a manifold @math , and @math a closed Legendrian submanifold. I prove that @math intersects some characteristic for @math at least twice if all characteristics are closed and of the same period, and @math embeds nicely into the product of @math and an exact symplectic manifold. As an application of the method of proof, the minimal action of a regular closed coisotropic submanifold of complex projective space is at most @math . This yields an obstruction to presymplectic embeddings, and in particular to Lagrangian embeddings.
P. Biran and K. Cieliebak @cite_12 @cite_22 generalized Seidel's result in various ways. In the case @math , for every @math , Corollary follows from their results. Further references about results on the topology of Lagrangian embeddings are provided in @cite_12 @cite_22 .

Let @math be a geometrically bounded symplectic manifold, @math be a closed, regular coisotropic submanifold, and @math be a Hamiltonian diffeomorphism. The main result of this article is that the number of leafwise fixed points of @math is bounded below by the sum of the Betti numbers of @math , provided that the Hofer distance between @math and the identity is small enough and the pair @math is non-degenerate. As an application, I prove a presymplectic non-embedding result. A version of the Arnold-Givental conjecture for coisotropic submanifolds is also discussed. In this paper we obtain new topological restrictions on Lagrangian embeddings into subcritical Stein manifolds. We also extend previous results of Gromov, Oh, Polterovich and Viterbo on Lagrangian submanifolds of ℂ n to the more general case of subcritical Stein manifolds.
