Abstract

Tight contact structures are the most interesting and studied object in contact geometry. Understanding how many distinct tight structures a given 3-dimensional manifold admits is quite a challenging and endearing problem.
In joint work with Hyunki Min, we classify tight contact structures on various surgeries on the Whitehead link, which provides the first classification result on an infinite family of hyperbolic L-spaces.
