Infinitely many universally tight torsion free contact structures with vanishing Ozsváth-Szabó contact invariants
Patrick Massot
Ozsvath-Szabo contact invariants are a powerful way to prove tightness of contact structures but they are known to vanish in the presence of Giroux torsion. In this paper we constr…

Tightness in contact metric 3-manifolds
John B. Etnyre, Rafal Komendarczyk, Patrick Massot
This paper begins the study of relations between Riemannian geometry and global properties of contact structures on 3-manifolds. In particular we prove an analog of the sphere theo…
