Parent event: 
Geometric Topology Seminar

In the first part of the talk - aimed at a general audience  - I will give an
overview of the existence problem for tight and Stein fillable contact  structures on
closed 3-manifolds, describing a few tools of the trade. In the second  part - aimed at
an audience with stronger interests in this area - I will talk more in  detail about some
specific results concerning the existence problem and, if time  permits, about related
work in progress.
