Abstract
For a given coorientable contact manifold , we consider the group consisting of contactomorphisms with compact support which is equipped with -topology of H\"older regularity for and . We prove that for all H\"older class exponents with or (resp. or and ), the group is a perfect (and so a simple) group. In particular, is simple for all integer . For the case of of general H\"older regularity, we prove the simplicity for all pairs leaving only the case of open.
