Abstract

We study codimension 11 embeddings preserving open book structures. In particular, we prove that every closed orientable 3-manifold admits a codimension-1 spun embedding in a finite connected sum of S2×S2S^2 \times S^2s and S2×~S2S^2 \tilde{\times} S^2s. We discuss some explicit constructions of planar open books on 3-manifolds and their codimension 11 spun embeddings. To construct these embeddings, we use sphere twist maps and push maps. We also give a simple proof for nontriviality of the twist map along a nonseparating SnS^n in the group of orientation preserving diffeomorphisms of S1×SnDn+1S^1 \times S^n \setminus D^{n+1}, relative to the boundary.
