Nonexistence and existence of fillable contact structures on 3-manifolds
Fan Ding, Youlin Li, Zhongtao Wu
In the first part of this paper, we construct infinitely many hyperbolic closed 3-manifolds which admit no symplectic fillable contact structure. All these 3-manifolds are obtained…
Contact (+1)-surgeries on rational homology 3-spheres
Fan Ding, Youlin Li, Zhongtao Wu
In this paper, sufficient conditions for contact -surgeries along Legendrian knots in contact rational homology 3-spheres to have vanishing contact invariants or to be overtw…
Contact (+1)-surgeries along Legendrian Two-component Links
Fan Ding, Youlin Li, Zhongtao Wu
In this paper, we study contact surgeries along Legendrian links in the standard contact 3-sphere. On one hand, we use algebraic methods to prove the vanishing of the contact Ozsvá…
On subcritically Stein fillable 5-manifolds
Fan Ding, Hansjörg Geiges, Guangjian Zhang
We make some elementary observations concerning subcritically Stein fillable contact structures on 5-manifolds. Specifically, we determine the diffeomorphism type of such contact m…
Strong symplectic fillability of contact torus bundles
Fan Ding, Youlin Li
In this paper, we study strong symplectic fillability and Stein fillability of some tight contact structures on negative parabolic and negative hyperbolic torus bundles over the ci…
Non-fillable invariant contact structures on principal circle bundles and left-handed twists
River Chiang, Fan Ding, Otto van Koert
We define symplectic fractional twists, which generalize Dehn twists, and use these in open books to investigate contact structures. The resulting contact structures are invariant…
