A Note on Lefschetz Fibrations on Compact Stein 4-Manifolds

arXiv:1007.3643

Abstract

Loi-Piergallini and Akbulut-Ozbagci showed that every compact Stein surface admits a Lefschetz fibration over the 2-disk with bounded fibers. In this note we give a more intrinsic alternative proof of this result.
