متن کاملOn symplectic fillings
In this note we make several observations concerning symplectic fillings. In particular we show that a (strongly or weakly) semi-fillable contact structure is fillable and any filling embeds as a symplectic domain in a closed symplectic manifold. We also relate properties of the open book decomposition of a contact manifold to its possible fillings. These results are also useful in showing the ...
متن کاملStrongly Fillable Contact Manifolds and J–holomorphic Foliations
We prove that every strong symplectic filling of a planar contact manifold admits a Lefschetz fibration over a disk that restricts to any given planar open book at the boundary. It follows that strongly fillable planar contact structures are also Stein fillable. Using similar methods, involving foliations by J–holomorphic curves, we construct a Lefschetz fibration over the annulus for any stron...
متن کاملSingularity Links with Exotic Stein Fillings
In [4], it was shown that there exist infinitely many contact Seifert fibered 3-manifolds each of which admits infinitely many exotic (homeomorphic but pairwise non-diffeomorphic) simply-connected Stein fillings. Here we extend this result to a larger set of contact Seifert fibered 3-manifolds with many singular fibers and observe that these 3-manifolds are singularity links. In addition, we pr...
متن کاملSymplectic fillability of toric contact manifolds
According to Lerman, compact connected toric contact 3-manifolds with a non-free toric action whose moment cone spans an angle greater than π are overtwisted, thus non-fillable. In contrast, we show that all compact connected toric contact manifolds in dimension greater than three are weakly symplectically fillable and most of them are strongly symplectically fillable. The proof is based on the...
