On generalized Lutz twists
Joint work with Dishant M Pancholi,
Preprint 2009

In this note we give a possible generalization of Lutz twist to all dimensions. This reproves the fact that every contact manifold can be given a non-fillable contact structure and also shows great flexibility in the manifolds that can be realized as cores of overtwisted families. We moreover show that $\R^{2n+1}$ has at least three distinct contact structures.
