Abstract: We show that the fundamental group of the space of contact structures on the 3-torus (based at the standard contact structure) is isomorphic to the integers.

Review text

In this short paper, the authors demonstrate that the fundamental group of the space of contact structures on the 3-torus is isomorphic to the integers. The main tool is the homotopy exact sequence presented in Section 2. The third and last section contains the proof of the main theorem.
