Résumé
Abstract

On prouve l’existence d’éléments d’ordre infini dans certains groupes d’homotopie du groupe des contactomorphismes des sphères vrillées. En particulier, il s’en suit que le groupe des contactomorphismes de certaines sphères vrillées n’est pas homotopiquement équivalent à un groupe de Lie de dimension finie.

We show the existence of elements of infinite order in some homotopy groups of the contactomorphism group of overtwisted spheres. It follows in particular that the contactomorphism group of some high dimensional overtwisted spheres is not homotopically equivalent to a finite dimensional Lie group.
