Unlike
symplectic structures in 4-manioflds, contact structures are abundant in
3-dimension. Martinet showed that there exists a contact structure on any
closed oriented 3-manifold. After that Lutz showed that there exist a contact
structure in each homotopy class of plane fields. In this talk, we will review
the theorems of Lutz and Martinet.
