Symplectic and contact topology in high or arbitrary dimension (57R17) Differential topological aspects of diffeomorphisms (57R50)

Abstract: We give an elementary topological obstruction for a manifold $M$ of dimension $2q+1geq7$ to admit a contact open book with flexible Weinstein pages and $c_1(p{i}_2(M))=0$: if the torsion subgroup of the $q$-th integral homology group is non-zero, then no such contact open book exists. We achieve this by proving that a symplectomorphism of a flexible Weinstein manifold acts trivially on cohomology. We also produce examples of non-trivial loops of flexible contact structures using related ideas.
