Talk:Symplectic filling

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Generalizations

Hi Orthografer, thanks for drawing my attention to your article. I was wondering why you decided to call it "filling". In my limited experience, and from the list of fillings you give in the article, it seems that everything is either in the complex category (Stein) or in the symplectic/almost-complex one (Weinstein, strong/weakly symplectically fillable etc.) So perhaps something less general might be more interesting? I'd love to hear your thoughts on the matter. Best, SammyBoy 03:28, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

I feel like there should be other kinds of fillings having to do with other structures on manifolds. If there really aren't any besides the ones with contact boundary then I guess I'll change the name to symplectic filling. Orthografer 13:29, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
