Surgeries on the trefoil and symplectic fillings
Abstract
In this note we will determine which contact structures on manifolds obtained by certain surgeries on the right handed trefoil are Stein fillable and which are not. This continues a long line of research and shows that there seems to be few underlying patterns to when a contact structure is Stein fillable or not.
