Stein-fillable open books of genus one that do not admit positive factorisations

Geometric Topology 2024-09-04 v1

Abstract

We construct an infinite family of genus one open book decompositions supporting Stein-fillable contact structures and show that their monodromies do not admit positive factorisations. This extends a line of counterexamples in higher genera and establishes that a correspondence between Stein fillings and positive factorisations only exists for planar open book decompositions.
