On Legendrian Embbeddings into Open Book Decompositions

Abstract

We study Legendrian embeddings of a compact Legendrian submanifold LL sitting in a closed contact manifold (M,ξ)(M,\xi) whose contact structure is supported by a (contact) open book OB\mathcal{OB} on MM. We prove that if OB\mathcal{OB} has Weinstein pages, then there exist a contact structure ξ\xi' on MM, isotopic to ξ\xi and supported by OB\mathcal{OB}, and a contactomorphism f:(M,ξ)(M,ξ)f:(M,\xi) \to (M,\xi') such that the image f(L)f(L) of any such submanifold can be Legendrian isotoped so that it becomes disjoint from the closure of a page of OB\mathcal{OB}.
