We describe open book decompositions of links of simple surface singularities that support the corresponding unique Milnor fillable contact structures. The open books we describe are isotopic to Milnor open books.

Open book decompositions of links of quotient surface singularities Yılmaz, Elif; Korkmaz, Mustafa; Department of Mathematics (2009) In this thesis, we write explicitly the open book decompositions of links of quotient surface singularities that support the corresponding unique Milnor fillable contact structures. The page-genus of these Milnor open books are minimal among all Milnor open books supporting the corresponding unique Milnor fillable contact structures. That minimal page-genus is called Milnor genus. In this thesis we also investigate whether the Milnor genus is equal to the support genus for links of quotient surface singular...
MILNOR OPEN BOOKS OF LINKS OF SOME RATIONAL SURFACE SINGULARITIES Bhupal, Mohan Lal (2011-11-01) We determine Legendrian surgery diagrams for the canonical contact structures of links of rational surface singularities that are also small Seifert fibered 3-manifolds. Moreover, we describe an infinite family of Milnor fillable contact 3-manifolds so that, for each member of this family, the Milnor genus and Milnor norm are strictly greater than the support genus and support norm of the canonical contact structure. For some of these contact structures we construct supporting Milnor open books.
Open books decompositions of links of minimally elliptic singularities Bhupal, Mohan Lal (2021-02-01) We present an explicit Milnor open book decomposition supporting the canonical contact structure on the link of each minimally elliptic singularity whose fundamental cycle Z satisfies -3 <= Z center dot Z <=-1. For the Milnor open books whose pages have genus less than three, we give a factorization of the monodromy which does not involve any left-handed Dehn twists around interior curves. Necessary results regarding the roots of reducible, and irreducible elements in mapping class groups are proved, and so...
Planar Contact Structures with Binding Number Three Arıkan, Mehmet Fırat (2007-01-01) In this article, we find the complete list of all contact structures (up to isotopy) on closed three-manifolds which are supported by an open book decomposition having planar pages with three (but not less) boundary components. We distinguish them by computing their first Chern classes and three dimensional invariants (whenever possible). Among these contact structures we also distinguish tight ones from those which are overtwisted
WEIGHTED HOMOGENEOUS SINGULARITIES AND RATIONAL HOMOLOGY DISK SMOOTHINGS Bhupal, Mohan Lal (2011-10-01) We classify the resolution graphs of weighted homogeneous surface singularities which admit rational homology disk smoothings. The nonexistence of rational homology disk smoothings is shown by symplectic geometric methods, while the existence is verified via smoothings of negative weight.
