Let S=H−1(1)⊂R4S=H^{-1}(1)\subset\mathbb{R}^4S=H−1(1)⊂R4 be a strictly star-shaped level with contact structure ξ\xiξ, let JJJ be a dλ0d\lambda_0dλ0​-compatible complex structure on ξ\xiξ, and let P=(x,T)P=(x,T)P=(x,T) be a periodic Reeb orbit on SSS (not necessarily nondegenerate) with asymptotic operator APA_PAP​. If vvv is an eigenvector of APA_PAP​ with eigenvalue μ\muμ whose winding number in Hryniewicz's global frame of ξ\xiξ is kkk, then μ\muμ has eigenvector winding kkk: every eigenvector of APA_PAP​ with eigenvalue μ\muμ has winding number kkk in the global frame.

So the winding of a single eigenvector determines the winding attached to its eigenvalue. This is what is needed to compare the asymptotic winding wind∞\mathrm{wind}_\inftywind∞​ of a finite-energy curve with the numbers α±(P)\alpha^\pm(P)α±(P).

Formalization Note "vvv is an eigenvector with eigenvalue μ\muμ" is IsAsymptoticEigen J P μ v; its winding in the global frame is HasXiLoopWind P v k; the conclusion HasEigenWind J P μ k says that some eigenvector for μ\muμ exists and every one has winding kkk.
