Classification of invariant tight contact structures on the 3-space, -ball and -sphere

Abstract

We prove some classification results for tight contact structure in the 3-space, -ball and -sphere that are invariant with respect to some arbitrary involution, that is conjugated to the standard rotation around the x-axis. Unlike the classical scenario, a new integral torsion appears, dictating a splitting between equivalence classes. These tools could be useful fur future classification results regarding strongly invertible Legendrian knots.
