Abstract

This paper provides a topological method for filling contact structures on the connected sums of $S^2\times S^3$ . Examples of nonsymplectomorphic strong fillings of homotopy equivalent contact structures with vanishing first Chern class on $\#_k S^2\times S^3$ $(k\geq2)$ are produced.

Keywords
