Approximating C^0-foliations by contact structures
From MaRDI portal
Publication:730359
Abstract: We show that any co-orientable foliation of dimension two on a closed orientable -manifold with continuous tangent plane field can be -approximated by both positive and negative contact structures unless all the leaves are simply connected. As applications we deduce that the existence of a taut -foliation implies the existence of universally tight contact structures in the same homotopy class of plane fields and that a closed -manifold that admits a taut -foliation of codimension-1 is not an -space in the sense of Heegaard-Floer homology.
In [\textit{Y. M. Eliashberg} and \textit{W. P. Thurston}, Confoliations. Providence, RI: American Mathematical Society (1998; Zbl 0893.53001)], it has been proved that any \(C^2\)-foliation \({\mathcal F}\) of a closed oriented manifold \(M\) different from the product foliation of \(S^2\times S^1\) by 2-spheres can be \(C^0\)-approximated by both, positive and negative, contact structures. Here, the author proves (Theorem 1.2) that such approximations exist when \(\mathcal F\) has only continuous tangent plane field and contains at least one non-simply-connected leaf. This result implies (Theorem 1.3) that any taut \(C^0\) foliation of such an \(M\) (again, different from the product foliation of \(S^2\times S^1\) by 2-spheres) can be homotoped into both, positive and negative, tight and symplectically semi-fillable contact structures. A similar result (Theorem 9.8) for Reebless foliations is also established.
