A note on symplectic rational blow--downs
Andras I. Stipsicz, Zoltan Szabo
Due to a significant error in the main result (pointed out by J. Wahl), the paper has been withdrawn by the authors. A corrected and expanded version is 'Rational blow-downs and sm…
Tight contact structures on some small Seifert fibered 3--manifolds
Paolo Ghiggini, Paolo Lisca, Andras I. Stipsicz
We classify tight contact structures on the small Seifert fibered 3--manifold M(-1; r_1, r_2, r_3) with r_i in (0,1) and r_1, r_2 \geq 1/2. The result is obtained by combining conv…
Ozsvath-Szabo invariants and tight contact three-manifolds, III
Paolo Lisca, Andras I. Stipsicz
We characterize L-spaces which are Seifert fibered over the 2-sphere in terms of taut foliations, transverse foliations and transverse contact structures. We give a sufficient cond…
Planar open books and Floer homology
Peter Ozsvath, Andras I. Stipsicz, Zoltan Szabo
Giroux has described a correspondence between open book decompositions on a 3--manifold and contact structures. In this paper we use Heegaard Floer homology to give restrictions on…
Notes on the contact Ozsvath--Szabo invariants
Paolo Lisca, Andras I. Stipsicz
We prove various results on contact structures obtained by contact surgery on a single Legendrian knot in the standard contact three--sphere. Our main tool are the contact Ozsvath-…
Small Exotic 4-manifolds with b_2^+=3
Andras I Stipsicz, Zoltan Szabo
We construct an infinite family of simply connected, pairwise nondiffeomorphic 4-manifolds, all homeomorphic to 3CP^2 blown up at 9 points.
