Applications of convex integration to symplectic and contact geometry
Annales de l'Institut Fourier, Volume 37 (1987) no. 1, pp. 107-133.

We apply Gromov’s method of convex integration to problems related to the existence and uniqueness of symplectic and contact structures

La méthode d’intégration convexe développée par Gromov est appliquée aux problèmes concernant l’existence et l’unicité des structures symplectiques et de contact
