By recent results of Baker, Etnyre and Van Horn-Morris, a rational open book decomposition defines a compatible contact structure. We show that the Heegaard Floer contact invariant of such a contact structure can be computed in terms of the knot Floer homology of its (rationally null-homologous) binding. We then use this description of contact invariants, together with a formula for the knot Floer homology of the core of a surgery solid torus, to show that certain manifolds obtained by surgeries on bindings of open books carry tight contact structures. 57M25, 57M27, 57R17, 57R58 Dehn surgery is the process of excising a neighborhood of an embedded circle (a knot) in a 3‐dimensional manifold and subsequently regluing it with a diffeomorphism of the bounding torus. This construction has long played a fundamental role in the study of 3‐manifolds, and provides a complete method of construction. If the 3‐ manifold is equipped with extra structure, one can hope to adapt the surgery procedure to incorporate this structure. This idea has been fruitfully employed in a variety of situations. Our present interest lies in the realm of 3‐dimensional contact geometry. Here, contact surgery along Legendrian knots has been an invaluable tool for the study of 3‐manifolds equipped with a contact structure. For contact surgery, we start with a Legendrian knot (a knot which is tangent to the contact structure), and perform Dehn surgery in such a way that the contact structure on the knot complement is extended over the surgery solid torus. To guarantee that the extension is unique a condition on the surgery slope is required, and a sufficient condition is that the slope is of the form 1=k with respect to the Legendrian framing; see Ding and Geiges [5] and Kanda [28]. The case when kD 1 is perhaps the most well-known, and is often called Legendrian surgery.
