Title:
Stein fillings of contact 3-manifolds II
Speaker:
Abstract:
In the first talk, we will introduce Stein and symplectic fillings of contact manifolds, give examples of fillable and non-fillable contact 3-manifolds, and discuss results about classification of Stein fillings of some contact 3-manifolds. In the second talk, we will discuss the existence of Lefschetz fibrations on Stein surfaces and Giroux's correspondence between open books and contact structures. In the third talk we will discuss various examples of contact 3-manifolds with infinitely many distinct Stein fillings.
