Abstract

We discuss 44-dimensional achiral Lefschetz fibrations bounding 33-dimensional open books and study their Lefschetz fibration (LF) embedding in a bounded 66-dimensional manifold, in the sense of Ghanwat--Pancholi. As an application we give another proof of the fact that every closed orientable 44-manifold embeds in S2×S2×S2S^2 \times S^2 \times S^2 . We also show that every achiral Lefschetz fibration with hyperelliptic monodromy admits LF embedding in D6=D2×D4D^6 = D^2 \times D^4 and discuss an obstruction to such LF embeddings.
