Let $\mathfrak{g}=< X_{f_1},X_{f_2},...,X_{f_n}> $ be a lie algebra of contact symmetries , $\mathfrak{g}\subset Sym(E_\omega )$ , such that the orbit spact $ B_\mathfrak{g}=E_\ …

Let $S$ be an immersed real hypersurface in the Euclidean $\mathbb{C}^n$ with the standard complex structure $J$. Let $A:T(S)\rightarrow T(S)$ be the shape operator of $S$ (e.g. w. …

I am looking for references on contact structures in the framework of pseudo-riemannian manifolds. For instance on the Lorentz-Minkowski 3-space (resp. (n+1)-space). Denoting by L …

Let us consider polynomial contact structures on $\mathbb RP^3$, i.e. contact structures on $\mathbb R^3$ defined by a form $w=Pdx+Qdy+Rdz,\ P,Q,R\in \mathbb R[x,y,z]\ $ in an aff …

Let's consider a algebraic contact structure $P$ on $\mathbb CP^3$ and a algebraic curve $C$ degree $d$ and genus $g$. Let's assume that contact structure has degree $p$ (see http: …

Let $(M, \xi)$ be a closed contact manifold with co-oriented contact structure $\xi = \ker \alpha$. Let $\mathrm{Cont}(M, \alpha)$ be the group of diffeomorphisms that preserve th …

Why is $tb(K)$ (Thurston-Bennequin invariant) of a Legendrian knot $K$ which is the boundary of a convex surface $\Sigma$ is negative in a contact 3 manifold?

Is there some result about contactomorphism groups of $S^{2n+1}$ or $T^{2n-1}$ for n>1? For example, do we know the rank of $\pi_{i}(Cont(S^{2n+1})) \otimes \mathbb{Q}?$ where "Con …

Suppose we have symplectic manifolds $(M_1, \omega_1)$ and $(M_2, \omega_2)$ with non-empty boundary of contact . Often we need to deal with the product $M_1 \times M_2$ with the p …

Background/motivation I'm working on contact topology (in dimension three): a fundamental theorem of Giroux gives us a bijection between contact structures (up to isotopy) and ope …

Hello, Which manifolds in dimension five admit contact structures? I am not too familiar with the contact realm so any references to look at would be much appreciated.

I am reading about contact geometry and I have a question: Why do we only consider contact structure of an odd-dimension manifold? and the same question for definition of symplecti …
