Abstract

I begin by giving a general discussion of completely integrable Hamiltonian systems in the setting of contact geometry. We then pass to the particular case of toric contact structures on the manifold S2×S3S^2\times S^3. In particular we give a complete solution to the contact equivalence problem for a class of toric contact structures, Yp,qY^{p,q}, discovered by physicists by showing that Yp,qY^{p,q} and Yp,qY^{p',q'} are inequivalent as contact structures if and only if ppp\neq p'.
