Abstract

In this paper, we show that if the link of an isolated complex surface singularity is either a Sol3Sol^3-manifold or an SL~(2;R)\widetilde{SL}(2;\mathbb{R})-manifold with its canonical contact structure, then it admits infinitely many strong symplectic fillings that are pairwise non-diffeomorphic and not related by a sequence of blow-ups or blow-downs. As a consequence, the link of any cusp singularity, exceptional unimodal singularity, or hyperbolic Brieskorn singularity admits infinitely many pairwise non-diffeomorphic minimal strong symplectic fillings.
