Full Lutz twist along the binding of an open book

Geometric Topology 2012-06-13 v2

Abstract

Let TT denote a binding component of an open book (Σ,ϕ)(\Sigma, \phi) compatible with a closed contact 3-manifold (M,ξ)(M, \xi). We describe an explicit open book (Σ,ϕ)(\Sigma', \phi') compatible with (M,ζ)(M, \zeta), where ζ\zeta is the contact structure obtained from ξ\xi by performing a full Lutz twist along TT. Here, (Σ,ϕ)(\Sigma', \phi') is obtained from (Σ,ϕ)(\Sigma, \phi) by a \emph{local} modification near the binding.
