On overtwisted, right-veering open books

Paolo Lisca

Vol. 257 (2012), No. 1, 219–225
Abstract

We exhibit infinitely many overtwisted, right-veering, non-destabilizable open books, thus providing infinitely many counterexamples to a conjecture of Honda, Kazez and Matić. The page of all our open books is a four-holed sphere and the underlying 3-manifolds are lens spaces.

Keywords
contact surgery, destabilizable diffeomorphisms, Giroux’s correspondence, open books, overtwisted contact structures, right-veering diffeomorphisms
