For an open book decomposition (S, φ), the fractional Dehn twist coefficients are rational numbers measuring the amount that the monodromy φ twists the surface S near each boundary component. In general, the twist coefficients do not behave nicely under the operation of capping off a boundary component. The goal of this paper is to use Heegaard Floer homology to constrain the behavior of the fractional Dehn twist coefficients after capping off. We also use our results about fractional Dehn…

Capping off open books and the Ozsvath-Szabo contact invariant
If (S, φ) is an open book with disconnected binding, then we can form a new open book (S′, φ′) by capping off one of the boundary components of S with a disk. LetMS,φ denote the 3-manifold with open
