Abstract In this note, we show that given a closed connected oriented $3$ -manifold M, there exists a knot K in M such that the manifold $M'$ obtained from M by performing an integer surgery admits an open book decomposition which embeds into the trivial open book of the $5$ -sphere $S^5.$

Based on Hempel's distance of a Heegaard splitting, we define a certain kind of complexity of an open book decomposition, called a translation distance, by using the arc complex of its fiber surface. We then show that an open book decomposition is of translation distance at most two if it is split into "simpler" open book decompositions, or at most three if it admits a Stallings twist on it.

In this paper, we give two formulae of values of the Casson–Walker invariant of 3-manifolds with genus one open book decompositions; one is a formula written in terms of a framed link of a surgery presentation of such a 3-manifold, and the other is a formula written in terms of a representation of the mapping class group of a 1-holed torus. For the former case, we compute the invariant through the combinatorial calculation of the degree 1 part of the LMO invariant. For the latter case, we construct a representation of a central extension of the mapping class group through the action of the degree 1 part of the LMO invariant on the space of Jacobi diagrams on two intervals, and compute the invariant as the trace of the representation of a monodromy of an open book decomposition.

Sarkar and Wang proved that the hat version of Heegaard Floer homology group of a closed oriented 3-manifold is combinatorial starting from an arbitrary nice Heegaard diagram and in fact every closed oriented 3-manifold admits such a Heegaard diagram. Plamenevskaya showed that the contact Ozsváth-Szabó invariant is combinatorial once we are given an open book decomposition compatible with a contact structure. The idea is to combine the algorithm of Sarkar and Wang with the recent description of the contact Ozsváth-Szabó invariant due to Honda, Kazez and Matić. Here we observe that the hat version of the Heegaard Floer homology group and the contact Ozsváth-Szabó invariant in this group can be combinatorially calculated starting from a contact surgery diagram. We give detailed examples pointing out to some shortcuts in the computations.

Given a handle decomposition of a 4-manifold with boundary and an open book decomposition of the boundary, we show how to produce a trisection diagram of a trisection of the 4-manifold inducing the given open book. We do this by making the original proof of the existence of relative trisections more explicit in terms of handles. Furthermore, we extend this existence result to the case of 4-manifolds with multiple boundary components and show how trisected 4-manifolds with multiple boundary components glue together.
