Contact structures on elliptic $3$-manifolds
We show that an oriented elliptic $3$-manifold admits a universally tight positive contact structure if and only if the corresponding group of deck transformations on $S^3$ (after possibly conjugating by an isometry) preserves the standard contact structure. We also relate universally tight contact structures on $3$-manifolds covered by $S^3$ to …
