Realizing 4-manifolds as achiral Lefschetz fibrations
John B. Etnyre, Terry Fuller
We show that any 4-manifold, after surgery on a curve, admits an achiral Lefschetz fibration. In particular, we show that the connected sum of any simply connected 4-manifold with…

Hyperelliptic Lefschetz fibrations and branched covering spaces
Terry Fuller
Let M be a smooth 4-manifold which admits a relatively minimal hyperelliptic genus h Lefschetz fibration over the 2-sphere. If all of the vanishing cycles for this fibration are no…
