Abstract

We classify positive tight contact structures, up to isotopy fixing the boundary, on the manifolds N=M(D2;r1,r2)N=M(D^{2}; r_1, r_2) with minimal convex boundary of slope ss and Giroux torsion 0 along N\partial N, where r1,r2(0,1)Qr_1,r_2\in (0,1)\cap\mathbb{Q}, in the following cases: (1) s(,0)[2,+)s\in(-\infty, 0)\cup[2, +\infty); (2) s[0,1)s\in[0, 1) and r1,r2[1/2,1)r_1,r_2\in [1/2,1); (3) s[1,2)s\in[1, 2) and r1,r2(0,1/2)r_1,r_2\in(0,1/2); (4) s=s=\infty and r1=r2=1/2r_1=r_2=1/2. We also classify positive tight contact structures, up to isotopy fixing the boundary, on M(D2;1/2,1/2)M(D^2;1/2,1/2) with minimal convex boundary of arbitrary slope and Giroux torsion greater than 0 along the boundary.
