Contact 3-manifolds with infinitely many Stein fillings

Symplectic Geometry 2018-07-11 v1

Abstract

Infinitely many contact 3-manifolds each admitting infinitely many, pairwise non-diffeomorphic Stein fillings are constructed. We use Lefschetz fibrations in our constructions and compute their first homologies to distinguish the fillings.
