Abstract

Questions of geography of various classes of 44-manifolds have been a central motivating question in 44-manifold topology. Baykur and Korkmaz asked which small, simply connected, minimal 44-manifolds admit a genus 22 Lefschetz fibration. They were able to classify all the possible homeomorphism types and realize all but one with the exception of a genus 22 Lefschetz fibration on a symplectic 44-manifold homeomorphic, but not diffeomorphic to 3CP2#11CP23 \mathbb{CP}^2 \# 11\overline{\mathbb{CP}}^2. We give a positive factorization of type (10,10)(10,10) that corresponds to such a genus 22 Lefschetz fibration. Furthermore, we observe two restrictions on the geography of genus 22 Lefschetz fibrations, we find that they satisfy the Noether inequality and a BMY like inequality. We then find positive factorizations that describe genus 22 Lefschetz fibrations on simply connected, minimal symplectic 44-manifolds for many of these points.
