Conjectural classification of rational homology ball fillings of Seifert fibered spaces
Let be a Seifert fibered space that is also a rational homology sphere, and let be a contact structure on . Seifert filling classification conjecture. The pair admits a symplectic rational homology ball filling if and only if and one of the following holds: (1) , is the link of a complex surface singularity whose resolution graph belongs to one of the finite families provided by Bhupal and Stipsicz, and is the canonical contact structure; (2) , is a small Seifert fibered space with complementary legs as in Theorem 1.6, and is one of the balanced contact structures described there; or (3) , is a small Seifert fibered space with complementary legs as in the first part of Theorem 1.7, and is one of the four balanced contact structures described there. This conjecture proposes a general classification of Seifert fibered rational homology spheres admitting symplectic rational homology ball fillings, extending the cases established in the cited results and the paper's theorems.
