Toward a conjecture of Tan and Tu on fibered general type surfaces

Abstract

Given a semistable non-isotrivial fibered surface f:XP1f:X\to \mathbb{P}^1 it was conjectured by Tan and Tu that if XX is of general type, then ff admits at least 77 singular fibers. In this paper we prove this conjecture in several particular cases, i.e. assuming ff is obtained from blowing-up the base locus of a transversal pencil on an exceptional minimal surface SS or assuming that ff is obtained as the blow-up of the base locus of a transversal and adjoint pencil on a minimal surface.
