چکیده

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 Lerman’s classification of toric contact manifolds and on our observation that the only contact manifolds in higher dimensions that admit free toric action are the cosphere bundle of T , d ≥ 3 (T d × S) and T 2 × Lk, k ∈ N, with the unique contact structure. keywords: contact manifold, toric action, symplectic fillability.

On fillability of contact manifolds

The aim of this text is to give an accessible overview to some recent results concerning contact manifolds and their symplectic fillings. In particular, we work out the weakest compatibility conditions between a symplectic manifold and a contact structure on its boundary to still be able to obtain a sensible theory (Chapter II), furthermore we prove two results (Theorem A and B in Section I.4) ...

A Note on Toric Contact Geometry

After observing that the well-known convexity theorems of symplectic geometry also hold for compact contact manifolds we use this fact together with a recent symplectic orbifold version of Delzant’s theorem due to Lerman and Tolman [LT] to show that every compact toric contact manifold can be obtained by a contact reduction from an odd dimensional sphere.

Geodesic flows and contact toric manifolds

Forward These notes are based on five 1.5 hour lectures on torus actions on contact mani-folds delivered at the summer school on Symplectic Geometry of Integrable Hamil-tonian Systems at Centre de Recerca Matemàtica in Barcelona in July 2001. Naturally the notes contain more material that could have been delivered in 7.5 hours. I am grateful to Carlos Curràs-Bosch and Eva Miranda, the organizer...

Strongly 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...

Symplectic fillability of tight contact structures on torus bundles

We study weak versus strong symplectic fillability of some tight contact structures on torus bundles over the circle. In particular, we prove that almost all of these tight contact structures are weakly, but not strongly symplectically fillable. For the 3–torus this theorem was established by Eliashberg.
