How to know whether a contact form is only defined locally or globally?

132 Views Asked by At

As described e.g. here the following is the standard contact form on $\mathbb R^{2n+1}$:

$$ \omega = dz + \sum_{k=1}^n x_k dy_k$$

Similarly, the following is the standard contact form on $S^{2n+1}$:

$$ \beta = \sum_{k=1}^{n+1} x_k dy_k - y_k dx_k$$

These are two examples of contact forms. Some contact forms are defined globally, everywhere on a given manifold. Some are not. At least that's what I understand so far.

My question is:

How can I determine whether a given contact form on a manifold is globally defined on that manifold or only locally?
