Filtering the Heegaard Floer contact invariant

Çağatay Kutluhan, Gordana Matić, Jeremy Van Horn-Morris and Andy Wand

Geometry & Topology 27 (2023) 2181–2236
Abstract

We define an invariant of contact structures in dimension three from Heegaard Floer homology. This invariant takes values in the set 0 {}. It is zero for overtwisted contact structures, for Stein-fillable contact structures, nondecreasing under Legendrian surgery, and computable from any supporting open book decomposition. As an application, we give an easily computable obstruction to Stein-fillability on closed contact 3–manifolds with nonvanishing Ozsváth–Szabó contact class.
