Abstract
We show that there exist infinitely many closed 3–manifolds that do not embed in closed symplectic 4–manifolds, disproving a conjecture of Etnyre–Min–Mukherjee. To do this, we construct L–spaces that cannot bound positive-or negative-definite manifolds. The arguments use Heegaard Floer correction terms and instanton moduli spaces.
