چکیده
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 کاملOpen Books and Configurations of Symplectic Surfaces
We study neighborhoods of configurations of symplectic surfaces in symplectic 4–manifolds. We show that suitably “positive” configurations have neighborhoods with concave boundaries and we explicitly describe open book decompositions of the boundaries supporting the associated negative contact structures. This is used to prove symplectic nonfillability for certain contact 3–manifolds and thus n...
متن کاملOvertwisted Open Books From Sobering Arcs
We study open books on three manifolds which are compatible with an overtwisted contact structure. We show that the existence of certain arcs, called sobering arcs, is a sufficient condition for an open book to be overtwisted, and is necessary up to stabilization by positive Hopf-bands. Using these techniques we prove that some open books arising as the boundary of symplectic configurations are...
متن کاملContact Homology of Left-handed Stabilizations and Plumbing of Open Books
We show that on any closed contact manifold of dimension greater than 1 a contact structure with vanishing contact homology can be constructed. The basic idea for the construction comes from Giroux. We use a special open book decomposition for spheres. The page is the cotangent bundle of a sphere and the monodromy is given by a left-handed Dehn twist. In the resulting contact manifold we exhibi...
متن کاملLegendrian Realization in Convex Lefschetz Fibrations and Convex Stabilizations
In this paper, we study compact convex Lefschetz fibrations on compact convex symplectic manifolds (i.e., Liouville domains) of dimension 2n + 2 which are introduced by Seidel and later also studied by McLean. By a result of Akbulut-Arikan, the open book on ∂W , which we call convex open book, induced by a compact convex Lefschetz fibration on W carries the contact structure induced by the conv...
