    Symplectic \(2\)-handles and transverse links (English)
    0 references
    The author presents two methods of symplectically attaching 2-handles to convex boundaries of symplectic 4-manifolds along links transverse to the induced contact structures. These methods supplement methods developed by \textit{Y. Eliashberg} [Lond. Math. Soc. Lect. Note Ser. 151, 45-72 (1990; Zbl 0731.53036)] and \textit{A. Weinstein} [Hokkaido Math. J. 20, No. 2, 241-251 (1991; Zbl 0737.57012)] for attaching symplectic 2-handles along Legendrian knots.
