Abstract

In this paper we study embeddings of contact manifolds using braidings of one manifold about another. In particular we show how to embed many contact 3-manifolds into the standard contact 5-sphere. We also show how to obstruct braidings of one manifold about another using contact geometry.<br />Comment: 35 pages, 10 figures, accepted for publication by the Journal of Topology
