| Abstract | We give a proof of, for the case of contact structures defined by global contact 1-forms, a theorem stated by Eliashberg that for any overtwisted contact structure on a closed 3-manifold, its contact homology is 0. A different proof is also outlined in the
appendix by Yakov Eliashberg.
