Controlled constructions of Reeb fields and applications
From MaRDI portal
Abstract: On every compact, orientable, irreducible 3-manifold V which is toroidal or has torus boundary components we construct a contact 1-form whose Reeb vector field R does not have any contractible periodic orbits and is tangent to the boundary. Moreover, if bdry V is nonempty, then the Reeb vector field R is transverse to a taut foliation. By appealing to results of Hofer, Wysocki, and Zehnder, we show that, under certain conditions, the 3-manifold obtained by Dehn filling along bdry V is irreducible and different from the 3-sphere. Resum'e On construit, sur toute variete V de dimension trois orientable, compacte, irreductible, bordee par des tores ou toroidale, une forme de contact dont le champ de Reeb R est sans orbite periodique contractible et tangent au bord. De plus, si le bord de V est non vide, le champ R est transversal a un feuilletage tendu. En utilisant des resultats de Hofer, Wysocki et Zehnder, on obtient sous certaines conditions que la variete obtenue par obturation de Dehn le long du bord de V est irreductible et differente de la sphere S^3.
A contact structure whose Reeb vector field does not have any contractible periodic orbits is called hypertight. By a result of Hofer, Wysocki, and Zehnder, every hypertight contact structure is tight. In the present paper the authors prove the existence of hypertight contact structures, showing that every compact, orientable, irreducible 3-manifold V which is toroidal or has torus boundary components admits a hypertight contact structure, whose Reeb vector field is tangent to the boundary and is transverse to a taut foliation. Such hypertight Reeb vector fields are particularly nice because one can do cylindrical contact homology (instead of the more complicated general theory). The authors apply these ideas to an example of a 3-manifold \(V\) such that the 3-manifold obtained by Dehn filling along the boundary \( \partial V\) is irreducible and different from the 3-sphere.
