Abstract

On every compact, orientable, irreducible 3–manifold V which is toroidal or has torus boundary components we construct a contact 1–form whose Reeb vector field R does not have any contractible periodic orbits and is tangent to the boundary. Moreover, if V is nonempty, then the Reeb vector field R is transverse to a taut foliation. By appealing to results of Hofer, Wysocki, and Zehnder, we show that, under certain conditions, the 3–manifold obtained by Dehn filling along V is irreducible and different from the 3–sphere.

R é sum é

On construit, sur toute variété V de dimension trois orientable, compacte, irréductible, bordée par des tores ou toroïdale, une forme de contact dont le champ de Reeb R est sans orbite périodique contractible et tangent au bord. De plus, si V est non vide, le champ R est transversal à un feuilletage tendu. En utilisant des résultats de Hofer, Wysocki et Zehnder, on obtient sous certaines conditions que la variété obtenue par obturation de Dehn le long du bord de V est irréductible et différente de la sphère S3.
