Abstract

We show that, given a closed integral symplectic manifold (Σ,ω)(\Sigma, \omega) of dimension 2n42n \geq 4, for every integer k>Σωnk>\int_{\Sigma}\omega^{n}, the Boothby-Wang bundle over (Σ,kω)(\Sigma, k\omega) carries no Stein fillable contact structure. This negatively answers a question raised by Eliashberg. A similar result holds for Boothby-Wang orbibundles. As an application, we prove the non-smoothability of some isolated singularities.
