Contact perturbations of Reebless foliations are universally tight
Jonathan Bowden
We give a complete proof of the fact that a contact structure that is sufficiently close to a Reebless foliation is universally tight.

The topology of Stein fillable manifolds in high dimensions I
Jonathan Bowden, Diarmuid Crowley, András I. Stipsicz
We give a bordism-theoretic characterisation of those closed almost contact (2q+1)-manifolds (with q > 2) which admit a Stein fillable contact structure. Our method is to apply Eli…

Contact structures, deformations and taut foliations
Jonathan Bowden
Using deformations of foliations to contact structures as well as rigidity properties of Anosov foliations we provide infinite families of examples which show that the space of tau…
