Open book decompositions and contact structures
Abstract:- A celebrated work of Giroux gives a one-to-one correspondence
between the following two types of additional structures on a closed
oriented 3 manifold:
1. Open book decompositions up to positive stabilization, and
2. Oriented contact structures.
In this talk, I will introduce the above items with accompanying examples,
and outline (one direction of) the correspondence.
