Open books on contact five-manifolds
The aim of this paper is to give an alternative proof of a theorem about the existence of contact structures on five-manifolds due to Geiges. This theorem asserts that simply-connected five-mani-folds admit a contact structure in every homotopy class of almost contact structures. Our proof uses the open book construction of Giroux.

متن کاملOn the stable equivalence of open books in three-manifolds
We show that two open books in a given closed, oriented three-manifold admit isotopic stabilizations, where the stabilization is made by successive plumbings with Hopf bands, if and only if their associated plane fields are homologous. Since this condition is automatically fulfilled in an integral homology sphere, the theorem implies a conjecture of J. Harer, namely, that any fibered link in th...
متن کاملOpen Book Decompositions for Contact Structures on Brieskorn Manifolds
In this paper, we give an open book decomposition for the contact structures on some Brieskorn manifolds, in particular for the contact structures of Ustilovsky. The decomposition uses right-handed Dehn twists as conjectured by Giroux. 0. Introduction At the ICM of 2002 Giroux announced some of his results concerning a correspondence between contact structures on manifolds and open book structu...
متن کاملKhovanov Homology, Open Books, and Tight Contact Structures
We define the reduced Khovanov homology of an open book (S, φ), and we identify a distinguished “contact element” in this group which may be used to establish the tightness of contact structures compatible with (S, φ). Our construction generalizes the relationship between the reduced Khovanov homology of a link and the Heegaard Floer homology of its branched double cover. As an application, we ...
