Examples of nontrivial contact mapping classes for overtwisted contact manifolds in all dimensions (Q2311436)

Let $W$ be a closed manifold of dimension $2n$. The contactomorphisms of the overtwisted contact manifold $S^1\times W$ are considered. It is proved that it is possible to construct for each $n$ infinitely many examples of such contactomorphisms that are smoothly isotopic but not contact-isotopic to the identity. This main result is proved using the existence of so-called Giroux adapted open-book decompositions.
