Chart description for genus-two Lefschetz fibrations and a theorem on their stabilization
arXiv:1106.0569 · doi:10.1016/j.topol.2011.11.031
Abstract
Chart descriptions are a graphic method to describe monodromy representations of various topological objects. Here we introduce a chart description for genus-two Lefschetz fibrations, and show that any genus-two Lefschetz fibration can be stabilized by fiber-sum with certain basic Lefschetz fibrations.
