Abstract

In 2018, M. Chu and S. Tillmann gave a lower bound for the trisection genus of a closed 4-manifold in terms of the Euler characteristic of MM and the rank of its fundamental group. We show that given a group GG, there exist a 4-manifold MM with fundamental group GG with trisection genus achieving Chu-Tillmann's lower bound.
