Latschev–Wendl's existence conjecture for higher-dimensional algebraic torsion

Let k1k \ge 1 and n2n \ge 2 be integers, and consider closed (2n+1)(2n+1)-dimensional contact manifolds, as well as algebraic torsion and untwisted algebraic torsion in that dimension. Latschev–Wendl's conjecture. For all integers k1k \ge 1 and n2n \ge 2, there exist infinitely many closed (2n+1)(2n+1)-dimensional contact manifolds with algebraic torsion kk. There also exist (2n+1)(2n+1)-dimensional contact manifolds with (untwisted) algebraic torsion kk 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.
