Abstract
Contact geometry treats such questions as the existence and classification of contact structures on manifolds of odd dimension and specified topological structure. See inequality (1) below. The geometric/analytic approach treated in this report introduces parabolic systems of partial differential equations (PDEs) in a way which complements the more algebraic methods, which until now are better known in contact geometry.
