Contact 3-manifolds with infinitely many Stein fillings
Burak Ozbagci, Andras I. Stipsicz
Infinitely many contact 3-manifolds each admitting infinitely many, pairwise non-diffeomorphic Stein fillings are constructed. We use Lefschetz fibrations in our constructions and…
Surgery diagrams for contact 3-manifolds
Fan Ding, Hansjörg Geiges, András I. Stipsicz
In two previous papers, the two first-named authors introduced a notion of contact r-surgery along Legendrian knots in contact 3-manifolds. They also showed how (at least in princi…
Seifert fibered contact three-manifolds via surgery
Paolo Lisca, Andras I. Stipsicz
Using contact surgery we define families of contact structures on certain Seifert fibered three-manifolds. We prove that all these contact structures are tight using contact Ozsath…
Heegaard Floer Invariants and Tight Contact Three--Manifolds
P. Lisca, A. I. Stipsicz
Let Y(r) be the closed, oriented three-manifold obtained by performing rational r-surgery on the right-handed trefoil knot in the three-sphere. Using contact surgery and the Heegaa…
