Abstract
In this paper, we collect various structural results to determine when an integral homology 3-sphere bounds an acyclic smooth 4-manifold, and when this can be upgraded to a Stein manifold. In a different direction, we study whether a smooth embedding of connected sums of lens spaces in C2 can be upgraded to a Stein embedding, and we have determined that this never happens.
