In 1995, Mitsumatsu constructed a large family of Liouville domains whose topology obstructs the existence of a Weinstein structure. Stabilizing these domains yields Liouville domains for which the topological obstruction is no longer in effect, and in 2019 Huang asked whether Mitsumatsu's Liouville domains were stably homotopic to Weinstein domains. We answer this question in the affirmative. This is joint work-in-progress with J. Breen.
