Abstract

In this paper we study embeddings of contact manifolds using braidings of one manifold about another. In particular, we show how to embed many contact 3-manifolds into the standard contact 5-sphere. We also show how to obstruct braidings and branched covers of one manifold over another using contact geometry.
