Constraints on Lefschetz fibrations with four-dimensional fibers from Seiberg-Witten theory

Hokuto Konno, Jianfeng Lin, Anubhav Mukherjee +1

We establish constraints on the topology of smooth Lefschetz fibrations with $4$-dimensional fibers, by studying the family Bauer-Furuta invariant. To compute this invariant, we an…
