Review text

The authors prove that there only exist \(S^{2n+1}\), \(S^{2n}\times S^ 1\), \(T^{n+1}\times S^ n\) as closed connected differentiable manifolds with contact forms which admit the expressions of the canonical contact forms of \(S^{2+1}\), \(S^{2n}\times S^ 1\), \(T^{n+1}\times S^ n\) in terms of global functions.
