Abstract
Let be a -knot which is the connected sum of a 2-knot with normal Euler number 0 and an unknotted -knot with normal Euler number in a closed 4-manifold with trisection . Then, we show that the trisection of obtained by the trivial gluing relative trisections of and is diffeomorphic to a stabilization of . It should be noted that this result is not obvious since boundary-stabilizations introduced by Kim and Miller are used to construct a relative trisection of . As a corollary, if , the resulting trisection is diffeomorphic to a stabilization of the genus 0 trisection of . This result is related to the conjecture that is a 4-dimensional analogue of Waldhausen's theorem on Heegaard splittings.
