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…
On Symplectic Cobordisms
John B. Etnyre, Ko Honda
In this note we make several observations concerning symplectic cobordisms. Among other things we show that every contact 3-manifold has infinitely many concave symplectic fillings…
Gluing tight contact structures
Ko Honda
We prove gluing theorems for tight contact structures. In particular, we rederive (as special cases) gluing theorems due to Colin and Makar-Limanov, and present an algorithm for de…
Convex decomposition theory
Ko Honda, William H. Kazez, Gordana Matic
We use convex decomposition theory to (1) reprove the existence of a universally tight contact structure on every irreducible 3-manifold with nonempty boundary, and (2) prove that…
