Algebraically overtwisted tight -manifolds from surgeries

arXiv:2403.19982

Abstract

We execute Avdek's algorithm to find many algebraically overtwisted and tight -manifolds by contact surgeries. In particular, we show that a contact surgery on the standard contact -sphere along any positive torus knot with the maximum Thurston-Bennequin invariant yields an algebraically overtwisted and tight -manifold, where is a positive integer.
