An Anosov flow Φ on a closed 3-manifold M gives rise to a non-Weinstein Liouville structure on V = [−1,1] × M. Building upon the work of Hozoori, we establish a homotopy correspondence between Anosov flows and certain pairs of contact forms. Moreover, the symplectic invariants of V only depend on the homotopy class of Φ. We focus on a subcategory W0 of the wrapped Fukaya category of V whose objects are in bijection with the simple closed orbits of Φ. In contrast with the Weinstein case, W0 is not homologically smooth, as it is not finitely split-generated in a maximal way. We expect W0 to be a powerful new invariant of Anosov flows.

This talk is partly based on joint work with Oleg Lazarev and Agustin Moreno.
