The genus-one open-book fillability conjecture

From papers

Let (M,ξ)(M,\xi) be a closed contact three-manifold supported by a genus one open book (S1,r,ϕ)(S_{1,r},\phi), where ϕ\phi is pseudo-Anosov and the associated foliations have two singularities on every boundary component of S1,rS_{1,r}. Suppose that b1(M)=0b_1(M)=0. Genus-one open-book fillability conjecture. The contact structure ξ\xi is strongly symplectically fillable by a filling WW with b2+(W)>0b_2^+(W)>0 if and only if there exists some dNd \in \mathbb{N} for which c+(ξ)c^+(\xi) is not in the image of UdU^d. The conjecture combines the known obstruction from the Ozsváth–Szabó contact invariant with the preceding corollary, conditional on the question of weak symplectic fillability for the relevant open books; its status is not resolved here.
