Associated Metrics for Bourgeois’ Contact Forms

In 2002, Frédéric Bourgeois [2] showed that, given a compact contact manifold M 2n–1, the product M 2n–1 × T 2 also carries a contact form; then, as a corollary he observed that all odd-dimensional tori have contact forms. The idea is to use an open book decomposition of M 2n–1 that is compatible wi...
