Admissible Dehn surgeries in tight contact manifolds. (Q5944548)

The author exhibits an example of universally tight contact manifold which becomes non-tight after admissible Dehn surgery. The example is an open manifold, so that it does not cover the strong case (for closed manifolds) of the converse of a theorem due to \textit{Y. Eliashberg} and \textit{M. Gromov} [London Math. Soc. Lect. Notes Ser. 151, 45--67 (1991; Zbl 0731.53036)]. The proof follows from results of the author [C. R. Acad. Sci., Paris, Sér. I 324, 659--663 (1997; Zbl 0876.57051)] and \textit{E. Giroux} [Sém. Bourbaki 760, Astérisque 216, 7--33 (Exp. No. 760) (1993; Zbl 0793.53037)].
