Contact structures and periodic fundamental groups
H. Geiges, C. B. Thomas
Abstract
By using cobordism theoretic arguments similar to those in the literature on positive scalar curvature metrics we prove the existence of contact structures on 5-dimensional spin manifolds whose fundamental group is a group of odd order (not divisible by 9) and finite cohomological period.
