Abstract

Given an open book decomposition (Σ,τ)(\Sigma,\tau) of a three manifold YY, Thurston and Winkelnkemper [TW] construct a specific contact form aa on YY. Given a spin-c Dirac operator DD on YY, the contact form naturally associates a one parameter family of Dirac operators Dr=Dir2\cl(a)D_r = D - \frac{ir}{2}\cl(a) for r0r\geq0. When r>>1r>>1, we prove that the spectrum of Dr=D0ir2\cl(a)D_r = D_0 - \frac{ir}{2}\cl(a) within [(r1/2)/2,(r1/2)/2][-(r^{1/2})/2, (r^{1/2})/2] are almost uniformly distributed. With the result in Part I, it implies that the subleading order term of the spectral flow from D0D_0 to DrD_r is of order r(logr)92r (\log r)^{\frac{9}{2}}. Besides the interests of the spectral flow, the method of this paper provide a tool to analyze the Dirac operator on an open book decomposition.
