SINGULARITY LINKS WITH EXOTIC STEIN FILLINGS
, 2014
"... In [4], it was shown that there exist infinitely many contact Seifert fibered 3-manifolds each of which admits infinitely many exotic (homeomorphic but pairwise non-diffeomorphic) simply-connected Stein fillings. Here we extend this result to a larger set of contact Seifert fibered 3-manifolds wit ..."

On Stein fillings of the 3-torus T³
, 2001
"... Topological properties of Stein fillings of contact 3-manifolds diffeomorphic to the 3-torus T³ are determined. We show that for a Stein filling S of T³ the first Betti number b1(S) is two, while QS = 〈0〉. In the proof we also show that if S is Stein and ∂S is diffeomorphic to the Seifert fibered 3- ..."

Stein fillings of planar open books
"... Abstract. We prove that if a contact manifold (M, ξ) is supported by a planar open book, then Euler characteristic and signature of any Stein filling of (M, ξ) is bounded. We also prove a similar finiteness result for contact manifolds supported by spinal open books with planar pages. Moving beyond ..."

Cobordism, Relative Indices and Stein Fillings
, 2007
"... Dedicated with gratitude and admiration to Gennadi Henkin on the occasion of his 65th birthday. In this paper we build on the framework developed in [7, 8, 9] to obtain a more complete understanding of the gluing properties for indices of boundary value problems for the Spin C-Dirac operator with su ..."

INFINITELY MANY SMALL EXOTIC STEIN FILLINGS
"... Abstract. We show that there exist infinitely many simply connected compact Stein 4-manifolds with b2 = 2 such that they are all homeomorhic but mutually non-diffeomorphic, and they are Stein fillings of the same contact 3-manifold on their boundaries. We also describe their handlebody pictures. 1. ..."

Ozbagci: Exotic Stein fillings with arbitrary fundamental group
"... ABSTRACT. Let G be a finitely presentable group. We provide an infinite family of homeomorphic but pairwise non-diffeomorphic, symplectic but non-complex closed fourmanifolds with fundamental group G such that each member of the family admits a Lefschetz fibration of the same genus over the two-sph ..."

STEIN FILLINGS OF CONTACT 3-MANIFOLDS OBTAINED AS LEGENDRIAN SURGERIES
"... Abstract. In this note, we classify Stein fillings of an infinite family of contact 3-manifolds up to diffeomorphism. Some contact 3-manifolds in this family can be obtained by Legendrian surgeries on (S3, ξstd) along certain Legendrian 2-bridge knots. We also classify Stein fillings, up to symplect ..."
