Tight Contact Structures on Lens Spaces
Abstract
In this paper we develop a method for studying tight contact structures on lens spaces. We then derive uniqueness and non-existence statements for tight contact structures with certain (half) Euler classes on lens spaces. We also prove that any lens space admits only finitely many tight contact structures.
