چکیده
We prove that any mapping class on a compact oriented surface with nonempty boundary can be made pseudo-Anosov and right-veering after a sequence of positive stabilizations.

Mapping class group relations, Stein fillings, and planar open book decompositions
The aim of this paper is to use mapping class group relations to approach the ‘geography’ problem for Stein fillings of a contact 3-manifold. In particular, we adapt a formula of Endo and Nagami so as to calculate the signature of such fillings as a sum of the signatures of basic relations in the monodromy of a related open book decomposition. We combine this with a theorem of Wendl to show tha...
متن کاملMonodromy problem for the degenerate critical points
For the polynomial planar vector fields with a hyperbolic or nilpotent critical point at the origin, the monodromy problem has been solved, but for the strongly degenerate critical points this problem is still open. When the critical point is monodromic, the stability problem or the center- focus problem is an open problem too. In this paper we will consider the polynomial planar vector fields ...
متن کاملDetecting tightness via open book decompositions
As the title indicates, the setting is the world of contact structures on, and open book decompositions of, three-manifolds. Throughout, M will refer to a smooth, closed, orientable three-manifold, and ξ a contact structure on M ; that is to say that ξ = ker(α), where α is a globally defined 1-form satisfying the condition that α ∧ dα is a volume form on M . An open book decomposition of M is a...
متن کاملReeb Vector Fields and Open Book Decompositions
We determine parts of the contact homology of certain contact 3-manifolds in the framework of open book decompositions, due to Giroux. We study two cases: when the monodromy map of the compatible open book is periodic and when it is pseudo-Anosov. For an open book with periodic monodromy, we verify the Weinstein conjecture. In the case of an open book with pseudo-Anosov monodromy, suppose the b...
متن کاملTight contact structures and genus one fibered knots
We study contact structures compatible with genus one open book decompositions with one boundary component. Any monodromy for such an open book can be written as a product of Dehn twists around dual non-separating curves in the once-punctured torus. Given such a product, we supply an algorithm to determine whether the corresponding contact structure is tight or overtwisted when the monodromy is...
