Abstract: Using contact surgery we define families of contact structures on certain Seifert fibered three-manifolds. We prove that all these contact structures are tight using contact Ozsath-Szabo invariants. We use these examples to show that, given a natural number n, there exists a Seifert fibered three-manifold carrying at least n pairwise non-isomorphic tight, not fillable contact structures.

Review text

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 \(\alpha\in \mathbb N\).
