Nonfillability conjecture for contact structures from Seifert surgery diagrams
Nonfillability conjecture for contact structures from Seifert surgery diagrams
Let be a Seifert fibered --manifold described by Figure~, and let the diagram define contact structures by contact --surgeries according to the stated algorithm. Assume the coefficients satisfy the conditions~. A contact structure is symplectically fillable if it is the boundary contact structure of a compact symplectic four--manifold with the boundary orientation and compatibility condition described in the source.
Nonfillability conjecture. No contact structure defined by Figure~ and satisfying conditions~ is fillable.
The paper gives evidence for this claim and proves nonfillability for a substantial special family, namely certain tight structures with and . The general assertion remains open.
