E8-plumbings and exotic contact structures on spheres
Fan Ding, Hansjörg Geiges
Abstract
We prove the existence of exotic but homotopically trivial contact structures on spheres of dimension 8k-1. Together with previous results of Eliashberg and the second author this establishes the existence of such structures on all odd-dimensional spheres (of dimension at least 3).
