ABSTRACT
A contact-stationary Legendrian submanifold of $${\mathbb {S}^{2n+1}}$$ is a Legendrian submanifold whose volume is stationary under contact deformations. The simplest contact-stationary Legendrian submanifold (actually minimal Legendrian) is the real, equatorial n-sphere S0. This paper develops a method for constructing contact-stationary (but not minimal) Legendrian submanifolds of $${\mathbb {S}^{2n+1}}$$ by gluing together configurations of sufficiently many many U(n + 1)-rotated copies of S0. Two examples of the construction, corresponding to finite cyclic subgroups of U(n + 1) are given. The resulting submanifolds are very symmetric; are geometrically akin to a ï¿½necklaceï¿½ of copies of S0 attached to each other by narrow necks and winding a large number of times around $${\mathbb {S}^{2n+1}}$$ before closing up on themselves; and are topologically equivalent to $${\mathbb {S}^1 \times \mathbb {S}^{n-1}}$$ .

The local-density approximation of density functional theory (DFT) is remarkably accurate, for instance, for geometries and frequencies, and the generalized gradient approximations have also made bond energies quite reliable. Sometimes, however, one meets with failure in individual cases. One of...
