On the coarse classification of tight contact structures
Vincent Colin, Emmanuel Giroux, Ko Honda
Abstract
We present a sketch of the proof of the following theorems: (1) Every 3-manifold has only finitely many homotopy classes of 2-plane fields which carry tight contact structures. (2) Every closed atoroidal 3-manifold carries finitely many isotopy classes of tight contact structures.
