Rational Homology Sphere

If M is the link of a complex normal surface singularity, then it carries a canonical contact structure ξcan, which can be identified from the topology of the 3-manifold M. We assume that M is a rational homology sphere. We compute the support genus, the binding number and the norm associated with the open books which support ζcan, provided that we restrict ourselves to the case of (analytic) Milnor open books. In order to do this, we determine monotonity properties of the genus and the Milnor number of all Milnor fibrations in terms of the Lipman cone.We generalize results of [3] valid for links of rational surface singularities, and we answer some questions of Etnyre and Ozbagci [7, section 8] regarding the above invariants.

AbstractWe prove that every symplectic filling of the link of a rational surface singularity with reduced fundamental cycle admits a rational compactification, possibly after a modification of the filling in a collar neighbourhood of the link.
