An overtwisted disk in a virtual contact structure and the Weinstein conjecture

Symplectic Geometry 2014-02-18 v1

Abstract

Hofer proved the Weinstein conjecture for a closed contact 3-manifold with an overtwisted disk. In this article we extend it to the virtual contact structure and provide a new explicit example of the virtual contact structure with an overtwisted disk via a Lutz twist.
