Recollement de variétés de contact tendues
On décrit un exemple de variété de contact universellement tendue qui devient vrillée après une chirurgie de Dehn admissible sur un entrelacs transverse.
We define an integer-valued non-degenerate bi-invariant metric (the discriminant metric) on the universal cover of the identity component of the contactomorphism group of any contact manifold. This metric has a very simple geometric definition, based on the notion of discriminant points of contactomorphisms. Using generating functions we prove that the discriminant metric is unbounded for the standard contact structures on and . On the other hand we also show by elementary arguments that the...
We determine parts of the contact homology of certain contact 3-manifolds in the framework of open book decompositions, due to Giroux.We study two cases: when the monodromy map of the compatible open book is periodic and when it is pseudo-Anosov. For an open book with periodic monodromy, we verify the Weinstein conjecture. In the case of an open book with pseudo-Anosov monodromy, suppose the boundary of a page of the open book is connected and the fractional Dehn twist coefficient equals , where...
Soit V une variété close de dimension 3. Dans cet article, on montre que les classes dhomotopie de champs de plans sur V qui contiennent des structures de contact tendues sont en nombre fini et que, si V est atoroïdale, les classes disotopie des structures de contact tendues sur V sont elles aussi en nombre fini.
