The goal of this paper is to show that M is a fiber bundle over S^1. The basic idea is to use the obvious S^1-action on S^1 x M by rotating the first factor, and one of the key steps is to show that the S^1-action on S^1 x M is actually symplectic with respect to a symplectic form cohomologous to w. We achieve it by crucially using the recent result or its relative version of Giroux about one-to-one correspondence between open book decompositions of M up to positive stabilization and co-oriented contact structures on M up to contact isotopy.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2009-01-06T01:45:40.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "symplectic structure", "giroux correspondence", "confoliations", "open book decompositions", "first factor" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 17, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2008arXiv0811.0641K" } } }
