Tight Contact Structures on Hyperbolic 3-Manifolds - IMSA Topology Seminar

Tight Contact Structures on Hyperbolic 3-Manifolds - IMSA Topology Seminar

Explore a topology seminar on tight contact structures in hyperbolic 3-manifolds. Delve into Isacco Nonino's research project, which aims to classify and understand these structures on manifolds constructed using Dehn surgery on genus one fibered knots in lens spaces. Learn about a classification result determining the number of non-isotopic tight contact structures on a subclass of these manifolds. Discover how to derive Stein fillability for some of these structures. Gain insights into the proof strategy, key concepts relevant to this specific setting, and potential future developments and generalizations in this field of study.
