Brieskorn manifolds as contact branched covers of spheres

arXiv:math/0509660 · doi:10.1007/s-10998-007-1085-3

Abstract

We show that Brieskorn manifolds with their standard contact structures are contact branched coverings of spheres. This covering maps a contact open book decomposition of the Brieskorn manifold onto a Milnor open book of the sphere.
