Conjecture that boundary Dehn twists have infinite order for general Seifert fillings
Conjecture that boundary Dehn twists have infinite order for general Seifert fillings
Let be a negatively oriented Seifert-fibered -manifold, let be a contact structure on , and let be a compact symplectic filling of with . Denote by the boundary Dehn twist of .
Boundary Dehn twist conjecture. The boundary Dehn twist has infinite order in the smooth mapping class group
This conjecture proposes removing the -invariance assumption on the contact structure from the theorem established immediately beforehand. The theorem is known for negatively oriented Seifert-fibered rational homology -spheres with -invariant contact structures; the general case remains open.
