Wendl's uniqueness conjecture for fillings of unit cotangent bundles of surfaces
Wendl's uniqueness conjecture for fillings of unit cotangent bundles of surfaces
Let be the unit cotangent bundle of a closed orientable surface of genus , equipped with its standard contact structure . A Stein or exact filling of is a compact symplectic filling of this contact manifold, and the disk cotangent bundle is the standard filling.
Wendl's conjecture. The diffeomorphism type of a Stein or exact filling of is unique and is given by the disk cotangent bundle for every .
For , uniqueness up to symplectic deformation equivalence is known, while for no exact or Stein filling not diffeomorphic to the disk cotangent bundle had been found. The statement concerns the stronger classification of fillings up to diffeomorphism.
