On page 41, the sum of a = (a,i, «2) and b = (ft, fo) is of course not (ai+ai, ft+fo), but (ai+c*2, Pi+fo). Excessive brevity, especially toward the end, is hard on the reader. Equality of SI vectors in an §1536 web (Vektorgleichheit) and in an S1333) web (Masszahlengleichheit) do not mean the same...

Planar open books with four binding components

We study an explicit construction of planar open books with four binding components on any three-manifold which is given by integral surgery on three component pure braid closures. This construction is general, indeed any planar open book with four binding components is given this way. Using this construction and results on exceptional surgeries on hyperbolic links, we show that any contact str...
