The Given

Given a handle decomposition of a 4-manifold with boundary and an open book decomposition of the boundary, we show how to produce a trisection diagram of a trisection of the 4-manifold inducing the given open book. We do this by making the original proof of the existence of relative trisections more explicit in terms of handles. Furthermore, we extend this existence result to the case of 4-manifolds with multiple boundary components and show how trisected 4-manifolds with multiple boundary components glue together.

Abstract In this note, we show that given a closed connected oriented $3$ -manifold M, there exists a knot K in M such that the manifold $M'$ obtained from M by performing an integer surgery admits an open book decomposition which embeds into the trivial open book of the $5$ -sphere $S^5.$

Main Message

We show as a main message that there is a simple dimension-preserving way to openly and densely embed every topological manifold into a compact ``nonstandard'' topological manifold with boundary.This class of ``nonstandard'' topological manifolds with boundary contains the usual topological manifolds with boundary.In particular,the Alexandroff one-point compactification of every given topological $n$-manifold is a ``nonstandard'' topological $n$-manifold with boundary.

AbstractWe study a semilinear elliptic problem on a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary, subject to an inhomogeneous Neumann boundary condition. Under various hypotheses on the nonlinear terms, depending on their behaviour in the origin and infinity, we prove multiplicity of solutions by using variational arguments.

Definition Of

In R. L. Wilder's book [2] the open and closed generalized manifolds are extensively studied. However, no study is made of the generalized manifold with boundary nor is a definition of such a space given except in the case of the generalized closed n-cell. A definition of a generalized manifold with boundary was given by the author in his paper [1]. Before undertaking the study of further properties of these manifolds it seems appropriate to characterize the manifolds with boundary in terms of the open and closed manifolds of Wilder. It is to that purpose that this paper is directed and in particular the generalized closed n-cell of Wilder is characterized as a special manifold with boundary.

Symplectic Cobordisms

Given two open books with equal pages, we show the existence of an exact symplectic cobordism whose negative end equals the disjoint union of the contact manifolds associated to the given open books, and whose positive end induces the contact manifold associated to the open book with the same page and concatenated monodromy. Using similar methods, we show the existence of strong fillings for contact manifolds associated with doubled open books, a certain class of fiber bundles over the circle obtained by performing the binding sum of two open books with equal pages and inverse monodromies. From this we conclude, following an outline by Wendl, that the complement of the binding of an open book cannot contain any local filling obstruction. Given a contact [Formula: see text]-manifold, according to Eliashberg there is a symplectic cobordism to a fibration over the circle with symplectic fibers. We extend this result to higher dimensions recovering a recent result by Dörner–Geiges–Zehmisch. Our cobordisms can also be thought of as the result of the attachment of a generalized symplectic [Formula: see text]-handle.

Open Book Decompositions

Based on Hempel's distance of a Heegaard splitting, we define a certain kind of complexity of an open book decomposition, called a translation distance, by using the arc complex of its fiber surface. We then show that an open book decomposition is of translation distance at most two if it is split into "simpler" open book decompositions, or at most three if it admits a Stallings twist on it.

AbstractWe develop index theory on compact Riemannian spin manifolds with boundary in the case when the topological information is encoded by bundles which are supported away from the boundary. As a first application, we establish a “long neck principle” for a compact Riemannian spin n-manifold with boundary X, stating that if $${{\,\mathrm{scal}\,}}(X)\ge n(n-1)$$ scal ( X ) ≥ n ( n - 1 ) and there is a nonzero degree map into the sphere $$f:X\rightarrow S^n$$ f : X → S n which is strictly area decreasing, then the distance between the support of $$\text {d}f$$ d f and the boundary of X is at most $$\pi /n$$ π / n . This answers, in the spin setting and for strictly area decreasing maps, a question recently asked by Gromov. As a second application, we consider a Riemannian manifold X obtained by removing k pairwise disjoint embedded n-balls from a closed spin n-manifold Y. We show that if $${{\,\mathrm{scal}\,}}(X)>\sigma >0$$ scal ( X ) > σ > 0 and Y satisfies a certain condition expressed in terms of higher index theory, then the radius of a geodesic collar neighborhood of $$\partial X$$ ∂ X is at most $$\pi \sqrt{(n-1)/(n\sigma )}$$ π ( n - 1 ) / ( n σ ) . Finally, we consider the case of a Riemannian n-manifold V diffeomorphic to $$N\times [-1,1]$$ N × [ - 1 , 1 ] , with N a closed spin manifold with nonvanishing Rosenebrg index. In this case, we show that if $${{\,\mathrm{scal}\,}}(V)\ge \sigma >0$$ scal ( V ) ≥ σ > 0 , then the distance between the boundary components of V is at most $$2\pi \sqrt{(n-1)/(n\sigma )}$$ 2 π ( n - 1 ) / ( n σ ) . This last constant is sharp by an argument due to Gromov.

Genus One

In this paper, we give two formulae of values of the Casson–Walker invariant of 3-manifolds with genus one open book decompositions; one is a formula written in terms of a framed link of a surgery presentation of such a 3-manifold, and the other is a formula written in terms of a representation of the mapping class group of a 1-holed torus. For the former case, we compute the invariant through the combinatorial calculation of the degree 1 part of the LMO invariant. For the latter case, we construct a representation of a central extension of the mapping class group through the action of the degree 1 part of the LMO invariant on the space of Jacobi diagrams on two intervals, and compute the invariant as the trace of the representation of a monodromy of an open book decomposition.

Sarkar and Wang proved that the hat version of Heegaard Floer homology group of a closed oriented 3-manifold is combinatorial starting from an arbitrary nice Heegaard diagram and in fact every closed oriented 3-manifold admits such a Heegaard diagram. Plamenevskaya showed that the contact Ozsváth-Szabó invariant is combinatorial once we are given an open book decomposition compatible with a contact structure. The idea is to combine the algorithm of Sarkar and Wang with the recent description of the contact Ozsváth-Szabó invariant due to Honda, Kazez and Matić. Here we observe that the hat version of the Heegaard Floer homology group and the contact Ozsváth-Szabó invariant in this group can be combinatorially calculated starting from a contact surgery diagram. We give detailed examples pointing out to some shortcuts in the computations.

We use a Betti number estimate of Freedman-Hain-Teichner to show that the maximal torsion-free nilpotent quotient of the fundamental group of a 3-manifold with boundary is either Z or Z ⊕ Z. In particular we reobtain the Evans-Moser classification of 3-manifolds with boundary which have nilpotent fundamental groups.
