3-dimensional methods in contact geometry
Ko Honda
These are lecture notes on cut-and-paste methods in 3-dimensional contact geometry.
Notes on the isotopy finiteness
Vincent Colin, Emmanuel Giroux, Ko Honda
This is the less official, English version of the proof of the fact that every closed atoroidal 3-manifold carries finitely many isotopy classes of tight contact structures.
On the coarse classification of tight contact structures
Vincent Colin, Emmanuel Giroux, Ko Honda
We present a sketch of the proof of the following theorems: (1) Every 3-manifold has only finitely many homotopy classes of 2-plane fields which carry tight contact structures. (2)…
Knots and Contact Geometry II: Connected Sums
John B. Etnyre, Ko Honda
We study the behavior of Legendrian and transverse knots under the operation of connected sums. As a consequence we show that there exist Legendrian knots that are not distinguishe…
On the Gabai-Eliashberg-Thurston theorem
Ko Honda, William H. Kazez, Gordana Matic
We present a new, completely three-dimensional proof of the fact, due to Gabai-Eliashberg-Thurston, that every closed, oriented, irreducible 3-manifold with nonzero second homology…
Tight contact structures on fibered hyperbolic 3-manifolds
Ko Honda, William H. Kazez, Gordana Matic
We take a first step towards understanding the relationship between foliations and universally tight contact structures on hyperbolic 3-manifolds. If a surface bundle over a circle…
