Contact 3-manifolds twenty years since J. Martinet's work
Annales de l'Institut Fourier, Tome 42 (1992) no. 1-2, pp. 165-192.

L’article présente les récents développements de la géométrie des variétés de contact de dimension 3. Le théorème principal de ce papier donne l’existence d’une unique structure de contact tendue sur la sphère S 3 . Ce résultat complète la classification des structures de contact sur S 3 .

The paper gives an account of the recent development in 3-dimensional contact geometry. The central result of the paper states that there exists a unique tight contact structure on S 3 . Together with the earlier classification of overtwisted contact structures on 3-manifolds this result completes the classification of contact structures on S 3 .
