Proof of Giroux's correspondence
I haven't read it carefully, but the new paper here by Licata-Vértesi appears to be (finally) a complete proof, albeit one that is different from the original.
EDIT: As the comments pointed out, the …

Extending diffeomorphisms between surfaces
The way you phrased this makes it sound harder than it is. Your two surfaces are diffeomorphic, so we can identify them both with a single surface $M$. Do this in a way that reflects the identificat …

Finite normal subgroup of mapping class group
When the genus of the surface is at least 3, Lanier-Margalit proved something much stronger than the fact that there are no finite normal subgroups: aside from the hyperelliptic involution, the normal …

If the universal cover has three boundary components, does it have infinitely many?
Let $M$ be a compact connected 3-manifold with nonempty boundary such that $\pi_1(M)$ is infinite and the universal cover $\tilde{M}$ has finitely many boundary components. I will prove that $\tilde{ …

Dualizing module for $\operatorname{Aut}(F_n)$
In our paper here, Himes, Miller, Nariman, and myself prove that Hatcher-Vogtmann’s question has a negative answer, at least for $n=5$. It also probably has a negative answer for larger $n$, but our i …

Fibration of hyperbolic 3-manifold
This isn't true. Here's one easy construction. For some $g \geq 2$, let $\Sigma_g$ be a closed oriented genus $g$ surface and let $f\colon \Sigma_g \rightarrow \Sigma_g$ be a homeomorphism represent …

How to prove that Lie group framing on S^1 represents the Hopf map in framed cobordism
I wrote out careful proofs of all of this and more in my note "Homotopy groups of spheres and low-dimensional topology", available here.

Do taut foliations leafwise branch covering S^2 yield foliations by circles?
To see what is going on, I think it is helpful to carefully work out an explicit example. In Section 2.1 of Calegari's paper, he explains how to deal with 3-manifolds that fiber over the circle. Her …

Which manifolds are homeomorphic to simplicial complexes?
I don't know about dimension 4, but for high dimensions this is a well-known open problem. I don't think much progress has been made on it for a while. I recommend Ranicki's lecture notes from Siebe …

Manifolds with two coordinate charts
I'll only discuss the first question (EDIT: Actually, I address the second question at the end). As Agol pointed out in the comments, for $n \geq 5$ this is an easy consequence of Newman's 1966 proof …

Automorphisms of surfaces, open books and contact structures
Tightness/overtwistedness is pretty hard. One place to start would be the paper Right-veering diffeomorphisms of compact surfaces with boundary I by Honda-Kazez-Matic, which gives a necessary and suf …

Two details from Stallings's proof of the sphere theorem
What you need for your second question is that $H^1_c(\tilde{M})$ is a free abelian group. As you noted, this is isomorphic to $H_2(\tilde{M})$. Now, $\tilde{M}$ is a connected non-compact 3-manifol …
