Universal tightness conjecture for concave neighborhoods of circular spherical divisors

Let (X,ω)(X,\omega) be a closed symplectic 44-manifold obtained as a symplectic blowup of CP2\mathbb{CP}^2 with the standard Kähler form. Let D=C1CnXD=C_1\cup\cdots\cup C_n\subset X be a circular spherical symplectic divisor, meaning that the CiC_i are embedded symplectic 22-spheres intersecting transversely and positively in a circular configuration, with no three passing through a common point. Suppose that

CiCi{0,+1}C_i\cdot C_i\in\{0,+1\}

for some i{1,,n}i\in\{1,\ldots,n\}. Universal tightness conjecture. Any contact structure induced on the boundary of a concave neighborhood of DD is universally tight. This conjecture extends the uniqueness and universal tightness results for several classes of torus bundles arising as boundaries of symplectic divisors; its general status is not resolved in the supplied source.
