Jun 2, 2012 at 13:27 comment added user22741 @Daniel Moskovich, I don't understand well. Could you give me examples that illustrate your comment?
Jun 2, 2012 at 8:56 comment added user22741 @Kevin Walker, I mean a framing of a ribbon graph. The standard ribbons in the standard handlebody has framing $0$, by definition. I want to know the framing of the ribbon graph after it is glued via parametrizations to cobordism to form a closed manifold.
Jun 1, 2012 at 13:12 comment added Kevin Walker I don't understand your question. Are you talking about framings of the ribbon graph, or framings of the 3-manifold? A ribbon graph is equivalent to a framed graph, so if you are starting with a ribbon structure on the graph(s) there's no need to say anything additional about framings.
Jun 1, 2012 at 10:27 comment added Daniel Moskovich Each open edge is framed by the linking number of the ribbon with its core (equivalently: a trivialization of normal bundle of the core). The compatibility condition is that the framings coincide at vertices- the three ribbons glue together, with matching orientations, to form a disc (the coupon).
