%0 Journal Article %T Contact homology and virtual fundamental cycles %A John Pardon %J Mathematics %D 2015 %I arXiv %X We give a construction of contact homology in the sense of Eliashberg--Givental--Hofer. Specifically, we construct coherent virtual fundamental cycles on the relevant compactified moduli spaces of pseudo-holomorphic curves. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1508.03873v2
