Existence of broken Lefschetz fibrations
R. Inanc Baykur
We prove that every closed oriented smooth 4-manifold X admits a broken Lefschetz fibration (aka singular Lefschetz fibration) over the 2-sphere. Given any closed orientable surfac…

Topology of broken Lefschetz fibrations and near-symplectic 4-manifolds
R. Inanc Baykur
The topology of broken Lefschetz fibrations is studied by means of handle decompositions. We consider a slight generalization of round handles, and describe the handle diagrams for…
