... Application to foliations and contact structures in dimension 3 The concept of open bo ok decomposition go es back to H. Winkelnkemper (1973) and, according to old works by J.W. Alexander in the twenties, every closed orientable 3-manifold admits such a decomposition. ... But, these foliations and contact structures are co-orientable, since the normal bundle to a an open bo ok (which makes sense despite the binding set) must be trivial. ...
