Strongly fillable contact 3–manifolds without Stein fillings

Paolo Ghiggini

Geometry & Topology 9 (2005) 1677–1687

DOI: 10.2140/gt.2005.9.1677

Abstract

We use the Ozsváth–Szabó contact invariant to produce examples of strongly symplectically fillable contact 3–manifolds which are not Stein fillable.

Keywords

contact structure, symplectically fillable, Stein fillable, Ozsváth–Szabó invariant
