Specifically, we determine the diffeomorphism type of such contact manifolds in the case the fundamental group is finite cyclic, and we show that on the 5-sphere the standard contact structure is the unique subcritically fillable one. More generally, it is shown that subcritically fillable contact structures on simply connected 5-manifolds are determined by their underlying almost contact structure. Along the way, we discuss the homotopy classification of almost contact structures.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-10-25T15:22:46.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "53D35", "32Q28", "57M20", "57R17" ], "keywords": [ "concerning subcritically stein fillable", "subcritically stein fillable contact structures", "elementary observations concerning subcritically stein", "standard contact structure", "contact manifolds" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 10, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
