Title: Towards the strong Arnold conjecture Abstract: We discuss the relative and absolute versions of the stable Arnold conjecture, which improve the relative and absolute versions of the homological Arnold conjecture and are closely related to the strong Arnold conjecture. In the relative setting, we show that the number of Reeb chords on a Legendrian submanifold, which admits an exact Lagrangian filling satisfying some technical conditions, is bounded from below by the stable Morse number of the filling. In the absolute setting, given a closed symplectically aspherical manifold, we show that the number of fixed points of a generic Hamiltonian diffeomorphism on it is bounded from below by the stable Morse number of this manifold. This is joint work with Georgios Dimitroglou Rizell.
