Some Remarks on the Lie Derivative and the Pullback Equation for Contact Forms
Given the contact forms f and g, and the 1-form h, we discuss the existence of a vector field u verifying L-u(f)= d(u (right perpendicular) f)+ u (right perpendicular) df = h. This is closely related to the pullback equation, where we seek for a diffeomorphism phi satisfying phi* (f) = g.
