The authors use contact surgery to define families of contact structures on certain Seifert fibered manifolds. Using Ozsváth-Szabó invariants they show that all these contact structures are tight. Given \(n\in \mathbb N\) they use Seiberg-Witten equations to show that some of the families contain at least \(n\) pairwise non-isomorphic tight contact structures that are not symplectically fillable. The authors conjecture that a stronger fact is true. Namely that for the constructed families of tight contact structures all the contact structures in a family are pairwise non-isomorphic and all of them are symplectically non-fillable. In the case where the Seifert fibered manifold is \(M(g, 2g; (\alpha, 1))\) with \(g\geq 1\), the authors prove the conjecture for some \(\alpha\in \mathbb N\).
