The conjecture for small Seifert fibered -spaces
The conjecture for small Seifert fibered -spaces
Let be a small Seifert fibered space that is also an -space. Let denote the class of small Seifert fibered spaces admitting the relevant rational-homology-ball plumbing description, and let be the canonical contact structure.
The conjecture. If admits a symplectic rational homology ball filling, then
and the filled contact structure is .
The conjecture would show that, among the small Seifert fibered -spaces with , every symplectic rational homology ball filling arises only in the classified cases and uses the canonical contact structure. The source states that the authors do not know any example outside admitting such a filling.
