Trisections and Lefschetz fibrations with $(-n)$-sections
Abstract
Castro and Ozbagci constructed a trisection of a closed 4-manifold admitting a Lefschetz fibration with a -section such that the corresponding trisection diagram can be explicitly constructed from a monodromy of the Lefschetz fibration. In this paper, for a closed 4-manifold admitting an achiral Lefschetz fibration with a -section, we construct a trisection of if is positive and if is negative such that the corresponding trisection diagram can be explicitly constructed from a monodromy of the Lefschetz fibration. We also construct a trisection of the fiber sum of two achiral Lefschetz fibrations with - and -sections such that the corresponding trisection diagram can be explicitly constructed from monodromies of the Lefschetz fibrations.
