SUMMARY:Maksim Maydanskiy: \"'Exotic' symplectic manifolds via Lefschetz
  fibrations.\"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Stein manifolds are known to symplectic geometers 
 as Liouville domains\nand are an especially nice class of open symplecti
 c manifolds. I construct\, in all odd complex dimensions\, pairs of Liov
 ille domains W_0 and W_1 which are diffeomorphic to the sphere cotangent
  bundle with one extra subcritical handle\, but are not exact symplectom
 orphic. In fact\, while W_0 is symplectically very similar to the cotang
 ent bundle itself\, W_1 is more unusual\, and in particular contains no 
 compact exact Lagrangian submanifolds. Constructions are given by explic
 it Lefschetz fibrations\, and the proofs involve calculations of wrapped
  Floer homologies.
