Latschev–Wendl's existence conjecture for higher-dimensional algebraic torsion
Latschev–Wendl's existence conjecture for higher-dimensional algebraic torsion
Let and be integers, and consider closed -dimensional contact manifolds, as well as algebraic torsion and untwisted algebraic torsion in that dimension. Latschev–Wendl's conjecture. For all integers and , there exist infinitely many closed -dimensional contact manifolds with algebraic torsion . There also exist -dimensional contact manifolds with (untwisted) algebraic torsion that admit stable symplectic fillings. The paper states that its methods confirm this conjecture, providing the asserted higher-dimensional examples and stable fillings; the result concerns the behavior of algebraic torsion beyond dimension three.
