Algebraic torsion conjecture for contact manifolds containing glued Giroux domains

About 15 years old · traced to

Let (V,ξ)(V,\xi) be a closed contact manifold containing a subdomain NN obtained by gluing and blowing down Giroux domains, as in Theorem~.

Choose any c∈O(N)c \in {\mathcal{O}}(N) and consider symplectic field theory with coefficients in

R[H2(V;R)/ker⁡c].{\mathbb{R}}[H_2(V;{\mathbb{R}}) / \ker c].

Algebraic torsion conjecture. Then (V,ξ)(V,\xi) has algebraic 11-torsion, and it is also algebraically overtwisted if NN contains any blown down boundary components.

This proposes an algebraic symplectic-field-theoretic detection of the filling obstruction established for such Giroux-domain subdomains. The claim is presented as an expected result, and no proof or resolution is supplied here.
