Title Tight contact structures on the Weeks manifold
Author András I. Stipsicz
Abstract
We construct tight contact structures on the Weeks manifold W, the closed hyperbolic 3–manifold with smallest volume. The contact structures are constructed through contact surgery diagrams involving contact (±1)–surgeries. The tightness of these contact structures are verified by showing that the contact Ozsváth–Szabó invariants of the structures are nonzero.
