Visualizing overtwisted discs in open books

Geometric Topology 2013-10-25 v1

Abstract

We give an alternative proof of a theorem of Honda-Kazez-Mati\'c that every non-right-veering open book supports an overtwisted contact structure. We also study two types of examples that show how overtwisted discs are embedded relative to right-veering open books.
