Cieliebak–Eliashberg's Stein-to-Weinstein weak homotopy equivalence conjecture

About 2 years old · traced to

Let Stein\mathfrak{Stein} and Weinstein\mathfrak{Weinstein} denote the spaces of Stein and Weinstein structures, respectively, and let

W:Stein→Weinstein\mathfrak W:\mathfrak{Stein}\to\mathfrak{Weinstein}

be the map sending a Stein structure to its associated Weinstein structure. Cieliebak–Eliashberg's conjecture. The map

W:Stein→Weinstein\mathfrak W:\mathfrak{Stein}\to\mathfrak{Weinstein}

is a weak homotopy equivalence. This would extend the known isomorphism on π0\pi_0 and surjection on π1\pi_1 to all homotopy groups, identifying the homotopy types of the spaces of Stein and Weinstein structures. The supplied text does not state whether the conjecture has been resolved.
