Contact manifolds (general theory) (53D10) Symplectic and contact topology in high or arbitrary dimension (57R17)

Abstract: We show that if a manifold M admits a contact structure, then so does M imes S^2. Our proof relies on surgery theory, a theorem of Eliashberg on contact surgery and a theorem of Bourgeois showing that if M admits a contact structure then so does M imes T^2.
