Minimal genus problem for $T^{2}$-bundles over surfaces

Geometric Topology 2021-05-05 v2

Abstract

For any positive integer gg, we completely determine the minimal genus function for Σg×T2\Sigma_{g}\times T^{2}. We show that the lower bound given by the adjunction inequality is not sharp for some class in H2(Σg×T2)H_{2}(\Sigma_{g}\times T^{2}). However, we construct a suitable embedded surface for each class and we have exact values of minimal genus functions.
