Abstract
We show that there exist infinitely many closed 3-manifolds that do not embed in closed symplectic 4-manifolds, disproving a conjecture of Etnyre-Min-Mukherjee. To do this, we construct L-spaces that cannot bound positive or negative definite manifolds. The arguments use Heegaard Floer correction terms and instanton moduli spaces.
