Existence and classification of overtwisted contact structures in all dimensions

preprint2014arXivOpen access

Abstract

We establish a parametric extension hh-principle for overtwisted contact structures on manifolds of all dimensions, which is the direct generalization of the 33-dimensional result from \cite{Eli89}. It implies, in particular, that any closed manifold admits a contact structure in any given homotopy class of almost contact structures.
