Abstract: We construct open book structures on all moment-angle manifolds and describe the topology of their leaves and bindings under certain restrictions. II. We also show, using a recent deep result about contact forms due to Borman, Eliashberg and Murphy [6], that every odd-dimensional moment-angle manifold admits a contact structure. This contrasts with the fact that, except for a few, well-determined cases, even-dimensional ones do not admit symplectic structures. We obtain the same results for large families of more general intersections of quadrics.


In Part I, the authors construct open book structures for all moment-angle manifolds (Theorems 1 and 2) and describe the topology of the their leaves and bindings under certain restrictions (Theorem 3). In Part II, they show that every odd-dimensional moment-angle manifold (as well as large families of intersections of quadrics, Theorem 5) admits a contact structure (Theorem 4). This is in contrast to the even-dimensional case, which in general does not admit symplectic structures.
