Chen's conjecture on rationally convex hypersurfaces in rr4rr^4

Let YR4Y\subset \mathbb{R}^4 be a hypersurface with first Betti number b1(Y)=0b_1(Y)=0, and let WW be the domain bounded by YY. The domain WW is rationally convex if it satisfies the complex-analytic condition of rational convexity. Chen's conjecture. If WW is rationally convex, then YY is diffeomorphic to S3S^3. This conjecture concerns the topology of contact type hypersurfaces in the four-dimensional local symplectic setting; the supplied source attributes it to Weimin Chen, but gives no resolution status.
