In this paper, we prove that the composition of the standard orientation double covering map and a non-orientable Lefschetz fibration is an achiral Lefschetz fibration and specify a monodromy factorization of this composition. As an…

We show that the total space of the Milnor fibration associated with any cusp or simple elliptic singularity in complex three variables admits an $S^1$-parametric genus-one Lefschetz fibration structure over the $2$-disk. As a consequence,…

In this paper we give an explicit construction of a symplectic Lefschetz fibration whose total space is a smooth compact four dimensional manifold with a prescribed fundamental group. We also study the numerical properties of the sections…

We construct two types of non-holomorphic Lefschetz fibrations over $S^2$ with $(-1)$-sections ---hence, they are fiber sum indecomposable--- by giving the corresponding positive relators. One type of the two does not satisfy the slope…

The topology of broken Lefschetz fibrations is studied by means of handle decompositions. We consider a slight generalization of round handles, and describe the handle diagrams for all that appear in dimension four. We establish simplified…

We prove homological mirror symmetry for Lefschetz fibrations obtained as disconnected sums of polynomials of types A or D. The proof is based on the behavior of the Fukaya category under the addition of a polynomial of type D.

We associate an exact Lefschetz fibration with a pair of a consistent dimer model and an internal perfect matching on it, whose Fukaya category is derived-equivalent to the category of representations of the directed quiver with relations…

The Arakelov--Parshin rigidity theorem implies that a holomorphic Lefschetz fibration $\pi: M \to S^2$ of genus $g \geq 2$ admits only finitely many holomorphic sections $\sigma:S^2 \to M$. We show that an analogous finiteness theorem does…

We show that any 4-manifold, after surgery on a curve, admits an achiral Lefschetz fibration. In particular, we show that the connected sum of any simply connected 4-manifold with a 2-sphere bundle over the 2-sphere will admit an achiral…

We compare different constructions of mirrors of del Pezzo surfaces, focusing on degree $d \leq 3$. In particular, we extract Lefschetz fibrations, with associated exceptional collections, from the mirrors obtained via the Hori-Vafa and…

Given any matrix B in SL(2,Z), we will describe an algorithm that provides at least one elliptic fibration over the disk, relatively minimal and Lefschetz, within each topological equivalence class, whose total monodromy is the conjugacy…

In his Ph.D. thesis, Burak Ozbagci described an algorithm computing signatures of Lefschetz fibrations where the input is a factorization of the monodromy into a product of Dehn twists. In this note, we give a reformulation of Ozbagci's…

We prove that two reflection factorizations of a given element in an exceptional rank-2 complex reflection group of tetrahedral type are Hurwitz-equivalent if and only if they generate the same subgroup and have the same multiset of…

We employ a certain labeled finite graph, called a chart, in a closed oriented surface for describing the monodromy of a(n achiral) Lefschetz fibration over the surface. Applying charts and their moves with respect to Wajnryb's presentation…

We prove that for any rational number $r\in (2,8)$, there exists a genus-$g$ Lefschetz fibration over the two-sphere with large enough genus-$g$ having the slope is $r$.

We fix some gaps of a proof of Xiao's conjecture on canonically fibered surfaces of relative genus 5 by the second author. Our argument simplifies the original proof and gives a much better bound on the geometric genus of the surface. Also…

By applying the lantern relation substitutions to the positive relation of the genus two Lefschetz fibration over $\mathbb{S}^{2}$. We show that $K3\#2 \overline{\mathbb{CP}}{}^{2}$ can be rationally blown down along seven disjoint copies…

We prove that the foam and matrix factorization universal rational sl3 link homologies are naturally isomorphic as projective functors from the category of link and link cobordisms to the category of bigraded vector spaces.

For more than two decades it has been known that any compact Stein surface (of real dimension four) admits a compatible Lefschetz fibration over a two-disk. More recently, Giroux and Pardon have generalized this result by giving a complex…

We classify the Seifert fibrations of any given lens space L(p,q). We give an algorithmic construction of a Seifert fibration of L(p,q) over the base orbifold S^2(m,n) with the coprime parts of m and n arbitrarily prescribed. This algorithm…
