Universal Lefschetz fibrations and Lefschetz cobordisms

Geometric Topology 2016-02-26 v3

Abstract

We construct universal Lefschetz fibrations, defined in analogy with classical universal bundles. We also introduce the cobordism groups of Lefschetz fibrations, and we see how these groups are quotients of the singular bordism groups via the universal Lefschetz fibrations.
