Abstract
We show that the only closed 4-manifolds admitting genus two trisections are and connected sums of , , and with two summands. Moreover, each of these manifolds admits a unique genus two trisection up to diffeomorphism. The proof relies heavily on the combinatorics of genus two Heegaard diagrams of . As a corollary, we classify two-component links contained in a genus two Heegaard surface for with a surface-sloped cosmetic Dehn surgery.
