Abstract
We provide a topological characterization for a family of bypasses with a fixed attaching arc to be contractible. This characterization is formulated in terms of the existence of a bypass that is disjoint from the given family away from the attaching region. As an application, we provide new proofs of several h-principles in overtwisted contact 3-manifolds.
