Symplectic fillability of tight contact structures on torus bundles

Fan Ding and Hansjorg Geiges

Algebraic & Geometric Topology 1 (2001) 153–172

arXiv: math.SG/0104109

Abstract

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.

Keywords
