Small energy isotopies of loose Legendrian submanifolds

In the first paper, we prove that for a closed Legendrian submanifold L of dimension n>2 with a loose chart of size η, any Legendrian isotopy starting at L can be C0-approximated by a Legendrian isotopy with energy arbitrarily close to η/2. This in particular implies that the displacement energy of loose displaceable Legendrians is bounded by half the size of its smallest loose chart, which proves a conjecture of Dimitroglou Rizell and Sullivan. In the second paper, we show that the Legendrian lift of an exact, displaceable Lagrangian has vanishing Shelukhin-Chekanov-Hofer pseudo-metric by lifting an argument due to Sikorav to the contactization. In particular, this proves the existence of such Legendrians, providing counterexamples to a conjecture of Rosen and Zhang. After completion of the manuscript, we noticed that Cant (arXiv:2301.06205) independently proved a more general version of our main result
