DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/GDS/29/">The
  Large-Scale Geometry of Overtwisted Contact Forms</a>\nby Thomas Melistas
  (University of Georgia) as part of Geometry and Dynamics seminar\n\n\nAbs
 tract\nInspired by the symplectic Banach-Mazur distance\, proposed by Ostr
 over\n and Polterovich in the setting of non-degenerate starshaped domains
  of \nLiouville manifolds\, we define a distance on the space of contact f
 orms \nsupporting a given contact structure on a closed contact manifold. 
 We \ncompare it to a recently defined contact Banach-Mazur distance by Ros
 en \nand Zhang and we use it in order to bi-Lipschitz embed part of the \n
 2-dimensional Euclidean space into the space of overtwisted contact \nform
 s supporting a given contact structure on a smooth closed manifold.\n
