Nous montrons que les seules vari\'et\'es toriques munies d'une structure de contact sont, \`a isomorphisme pr\`es, les espaces projectifs complexes et les vari\'et\'es $\mathbb{P}_{\mathbb{P}^{1}\times\cdots\times\mathbb{P}^{1}}…

Contact structures on 3-manifolds are analyzed by decomposing the manifold along convex surfaces. Background results of Giroux, Eliashberg, Colin, and Honda are discussed with an emphasis on examples. Convex decompositions are then used to…

We study transverse conformal Killing forms on foliations and prove a Gallot-Meyer theorem for foliations. Moreover, we show that on a foliation with $C$-positive normal curvature, if there is a closed basic 1-form $\phi$ such that…

The correspondence between definable connected groupoids in a theory $T$ and internal generalised imaginary sorts of $T$, established by Hrushovski in ["Groupoids, imaginaries and internal covers," Turkish Journal of Mathematics, 2012], is…

In this paper, we prove a theorem that gives a simple criterion for generating commuting pairs of generalized almost complex structures on spaces that are the product of two generalized almost contact metric spaces. We examine the…

Contact defects are time-periodic patterns in one space dimension that resemble spatially homogeneous oscillations with an embedded defect in their core region. For theoretical and numerical purposes, it is important to understand whether…

It is well-known that the reduced Floer homology of a rational homology sphere admitting a taut foliation does not vanish. We strengthen this by showing that (when thought of as an $\mathbb{F}[U]$-module) it also admits a direct…

It is known that for any full rational conformal field theory, the correlation functions that are obtained by the TFT construction satisfy all locality, modular invariance and factorization conditions, and that there is a small set of…

We investigate the line between tight and overtwisted for surgeries on fibred transverse knots in contact 3-manifolds. When the contact structure $\xi_K$ is supported by the fibred knot $K \subset M$, we obtain a characterisation of when…

We prove that all left-invariant contact structures on three-dimensional Lie groups are tight. The argument is based on Riemannian methods and establishes a unique factorization property for any Lie group admitting a left-invariant contact…

We introduce the notion of tight homomorphism into a locally compact group with nonvanishing bounded cohomology and study these homomorphisms in detail when the target is a Lie group of Hermitian type. Tight homomorphisms between Lie groups…

We study 5-dimensional Riemannian manifolds that admit an almost contact metric structure. We classify these structures by their intrinsic torsion and review the literature in terms of this scheme. Moreover, we determine necessary and…

The main results on the theory of conformal and almost Grassmann structures are presented. The common properties of these structures and also the differences between them are outlined. In particular, the structure groups of these structures…

We prove several results showing that every locally finite Borel graph whose large-scale geometry is "tree-like" induces a treeable equivalence relation. In particular, our hypotheses hold if each component of the original graph either has…
