The cylindrical end of a completion is a symplectization #
Let α be a smooth one-form on a boundaryless manifold M whose Liouville field Z,
ι_Z dα = α, is smooth and complete, with flow ψ. The Liouville flow map
Ψ : ℝ × M → M, Ψ(t, x) = ψₜ(x), pulls α back to the symplectization form eᵗ α of
TauCeti.SmoothForm.symplectization (TauCeti.mpullback_globalFlow_uncurry_eq_symplectization):
Ψ^* α = eᵗ α.
Indeed dΨ(s, w) = s Z + dψₜ(w) at (t, x). The primitive vanishes on its Liouville field,
α(Z) = dα(Z, Z) = 0, and the flow rescales the primitive, ψₜ^* α = eᵗ α
(TauCeti.mpullback_globalFlow_eq_exp_smul_of_interior_eq). This is the case of a complete field
of the same identity for the maximal flow, wherever it is defined
(TauCeti.mpullback_flowOf_comp_apply_eq_symplectization). Taking exterior derivatives, Ψ
also pulls dα back to d(eᵗ α) (TauCeti.mpullback_globalFlow_uncurry_mextDerivₗ).
The identity is natural: for a smooth map ι : S → M, the map (t, s) ↦ ψₜ(ι s) pulls α back
to the symplectization form eᵗ ι^* α of the restricted form
(TauCeti.mpullback_globalFlow_comp_eq_symplectization). The case of interest is the inclusion
ι of the boundary ∂W of a Liouville domain W ⊆ M (TauCeti.IsLiouvilleDomain), a regular
level of a defining function; there ι^* α is a contact form
(TauCeti.IsContactType.isContactForm_mpullback), so d(eᵗ ι^* α) is symplectic. When M is a
completion of W (TauCeti.IsLiouvilleCompletion), the map (t, y) ↦ ψₜ(y) restricts to a
bijection from (0, ∞) × ∂W onto the complement of W
(TauCeti.IsLiouvilleCompletion.bijOn_flowOf_Ioi_prod_frontier), and from [0, ∞) × ∂W onto
the complement of its interior (TauCeti.IsLiouvilleCompletion.bijOn_flowOf_Ici_prod_frontier),
and the radial coordinate of the point ψₜ(y) is r = eᵗ
(TauCeti.IsLiouvilleCompletion.liouvilleRadialCoordinate_flowOf). Together these describe the
cylindrical end of the completion in the coordinates (r, y) ∈ (1, ∞) × ∂W of its model
W ∪ (∂W × [1, ∞)): the primitive there is r α|∂W, the positive half of the symplectization of
the contact manifold (∂W, α|∂W). That the inverse of this parametrization is smooth is not
treated here.

The Liouville flow map pulls the primitive back to the symplectization form. Let the
smooth complete vector field Z be the Liouville field of the one-form α, ι_Z dα = α, with
flow ψ. Then the map (t, x) ↦ ψₜ(x) from ℝ × M to M pulls α back to eᵗ α.
The Liouville flow map pulls dα back to d(eᵗ α). Let the smooth complete vector
field Z be the Liouville field of the one-form α, ι_Z dα = α, with flow ψ. Then the map
(t, x) ↦ ψₜ(x) from ℝ × M to M pulls dα back to d(eᵗ α).
The Liouville flow out of a submanifold. Let the smooth complete vector field Z be the
Liouville field of the one-form α, ι_Z dα = α, with flow ψ, and let ι : S → M be smooth.
Then the map (t, s) ↦ ψₜ(ι s) from ℝ × S to M pulls α back to the symplectization form
eᵗ ι^* α of the restricted form. For the inclusion of the boundary of a Liouville domain, this
identifies the flow-out of the boundary with the symplectization of the boundary.
The Liouville flow out of a submanifold pulls dα back to d(eᵗ ι^* α). Let the smooth
complete vector field Z be the Liouville field of the one-form α, ι_Z dα = α, with flow
ψ, and let ι : S → M be smooth. Then the map (t, s) ↦ ψₜ(ι s) from ℝ × S to M pulls
dα back to d(eᵗ ι^* α), which is symplectic exactly when ι^* α is a contact form
(TauCeti.SmoothForm.isSymplectic_mextDerivₗ_symplectization_iff).
