چکیده
For a proper action of a Lie group on a co-oriented contact manifold which preserves the contact structure, we show that the classical Marsden-Weinstein-Meyer symplectic reduction procedure extends naturally to the contact category, continuing the work of H. Geiges ([Ge]). With a certain regularity assumption in place, the contact quotient is shown to be naturally a contact manifold. More generally, the quotient is shown to be a stratified space, extending the results of E. Lerman and the author ([LW]). The strata of the contact quotient are shown to admit natural co-oriented contact structures which vary coherently from stratum to stratum. The previous work of V. Guillemin, S. Sternberg, and C. Albert towards an extension of the Marsden-Weinstein-Meyer symplectic reduction procedure is also discussed ([GS1, Al]).

It has been shown by V. Colin that every tight contact 3-manifold can be written as a connected sum of prime manifolds. Here we prove that the summands in this decomposition are unique up to order and contactomor-phism.

We prove a game-theoretic version of Lévy’s zero-one law, and deduce several corollaries from it, including Kolmogorov’s zero-one law, the ergodicity of Bernoulli shifts, and a zero-one law for dependent trials. Our secondary goal is to explore the basic definitions of game-theoretic probability theory, with Lévy’s zero-one law serving a useful role.

We study the geometry of manifolds carrying symplectic pairs consisting of two closed 2-forms of constant ranks, whose kernel foliations are complementary. Using a variation of the construction of Boothby and Wang we build contact-symplectic and contact pairs from symplectic pairs.
