The Engel-Lutz twist and overtwisted Engel structures

A. del Pino Gomez, Thomas Vogel

Research output: Contribution to journalArticleAcademicpeer-review

Abstract

We introduce a modification procedure for Engel structures that is reminiscent of the Lutz twist in 3-dimensional Contact Topology. This notion allows us to define what an Engel overtwisted disc is, and to prove a complete h-principle for overtwisted Engel structures with fixed overtwisted disc.
