Dirac spectral flow on contact three manifolds. II: Thurston-Winkelnkemper contact forms.

Abstract: Given an open book decomposition

(S i g m a, a u)

of a three manifold

Y

, Thurston and Winkelnkemper [TW] construct a specific contact form

a

on

Y

. Given a spin-c Dirac operator

D

on

Y

, the contact form naturally associates a one parameter family of Dirac operators

D_{r} = D - f r a c i r 2 c l (a)

for

r g e q 0

. When

r > > 1

, we prove that the spectrum of

D_{r} = D_{0} - f r a c i r 2 c l (a)

within

[- (r^{1 / 2}) / 2, (r^{1 / 2}) / 2]

are almost uniformly distributed. With the result in Part I, it implies that the subleading order term of the spectral flow from

D_{0}

to

D_{r}

is of order

r (l o g r)^{f r a c 92}

. Besides the interests of the spectral flow, the method of this paper provide a tool to analyze the Dirac operator on an open book decomposition.
