Tight contact structures on 3-manifolds via dynamics
John Etnyre, Robert Ghrist
We consider the problem of realizing tight contact structures on closed orientable three-manifolds. By applying the theorems of Hofer et al., one may deduce tightness from dynamica…

Tight Contact Structures on Lens Spaces
John Etnyre
In this paper we develop a method for studying tight contact structures on lens spaces. We then derive uniqueness and non-existence statements for tight contact structures with cer…
