Let $(\Sigma ,\xi ',\omega)$ be a close almost contact $(2n-1)$-manifold. Then, by McDuff's theorem, we prove that $\xi '$ is homotopic to a contact structure $\xi $. This answers a question proposed by Chern.

We prove that each overtwisted contact structure has knot types that are represented by infinitely many distinct transverse knots all with the same self-linking number. In some cases, we can even classify all such knots. We also show…

We construct a canonically defined affine connection in sub-Riemannian contact geometry. Our method mimics that of the Levi-Civita connection in Riemannian geometry. We compare it with the Tanaka-Webster connection in the three-dimensional…

Contact geometry has been applied to various mathematical sciences, and it has been proposed that a contact manifold and a strictly convex function induce a dually flat space that is used in information geometry. Here, such a dually flat…
