Contact conjecture for odd-dimensional moment-angle manifolds

Let k=2mk=2m be even, let ΛR2m\pmb{\Lambda}\subset\mathbb{R}^{2m} be an admissible configuration, and let ZC(Λ)Z^{\mathbb{C}}(\pmb{\Lambda}) be the associated odd-dimensional moment-angle manifold.

Contact conjecture for odd-dimensional moment-angle manifolds. For every admissible configuration ΛR2m\pmb{\Lambda}\subset\mathbb{R}^{2m}, the manifold ZC(Λ)Z^{\mathbb{C}}(\pmb{\Lambda}) is a contact manifold.

The conjecture proposes that all odd-dimensional moment-angle manifolds in this class admit contact structures. The paper gives examples and proves that these manifolds are almost contact and quasi-contact, but leaves the contact assertion open.
