摘要

Koenig introduced the notion of a trisection of a closed orientable 3-manifold. It is easy to see that given an open book of a closed orientable 3-manifold M, it induces a trisection of M. We give a characterization of a trisection of a closed orientable 3-manifold that is induced by an open book of the 3-manifold. Then, we show that every closed orientable 3-manifold with a given trisection admits a trisection embedding into a trivial trisection of \(S^6\) S 6 . Finally, we discuss when two sectors in a trisection of a 3-manifold M can be combined to get a Heegaard splitting of M.
