Eliashberg's torsion obstruction to strong symplectic fillability
Eliashberg's torsion obstruction to strong symplectic fillability
Let be a -manifold and let be a contact structure on . The torsion of , denoted by
is the supremum of the integers for which there exists a contact embedding
If no such embedding exists, set . Eliashberg's torsion conjecture. If
then is not strongly symplectically fillable. This conjecture is motivated by the examples in the paper, where positive torsion obstructs strong symplectic fillability; the general implication remains open.
