Title:
Uniqueness of the Approximating Contact Structure
Speaker:
Abstract:
A theorem of Eliashberg and Thurston implies that every foliation on a 3-manifold can be approximated by a contact structure. In this talk, we show that in many cases the contact structure obtained in this way is unique up to isotopy and give apply this fact to show that certain spaces of taut foliations are not connected.
