Bypass attachments in higher-dimensional contact topology

Abstract

We initiate a systematic study of convex hypersurface theory and generalize the bypass attachment to arbitrary dimensions. We also introduce a new type of overtwisted object called the overtwisted orange which is middle-dimensional and contractible.
