Symplectic fillings of asymptotically dynamically convex manifolds II--$k$-dilations

Abstract

We introduce the concept of kk-(semi)-dilation for Liouville domains, which is a generalization of symplectic dilation defined by Seidel-Solomon. We prove that the existence of kk-(semi)-dilation is a property independent of fillings for asymptotically dynamically convex (ADC) manifolds. We construct examples with kk-dilations, but not k1k-1-dilations for all k0k\ge 0. We extract invariants taking value in N{}\mathbb{N} \cup \{\infty\} for Liouville domains and ADC contact manifolds, which are called the order of (semi)-dilation. The order of (semi)-dilation serves as embedding and cobordism obstructions. We determine the order of (semi)-dilation for many Brieskorn varieties and use them to study cobordisms between Brieskorn manifolds.
