Abstract

Given a fibred, compact, orientable 3-manifold with single boundary component, we show that a fibration with fiber surface of negative Euler characteristic can be perturbed to yield taut foliations realizing an open interval of boundary slopes about the boundary slope of the fibration. These taut foliations extend to taut foliations in the corresponding surgery manifolds. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: primary 57M25; secondary 57R30.
