Bridge trisections of knotted surfaces in 4--manifolds
Jeffrey Meier, Alexander Zupan
We prove that every smoothly embedded surface in a 4--manifold can be isotoped to be in bridge position with respect to a given trisection of the ambient 4--manifold; that is, afte…

Trisections and spun 4-manifolds
Jeffrey Meier
We study trisections of 4-manifolds obtained by spinning and twist-spinning 3-manifolds, and we show that, given a (suitable) Heegaard diagram for the 3-manifold, one can perform s…

Characterizing Dehn surgeries on links via trisections
Jeffrey Meier, Alexander Zupan
We summarize and expand known connections between the study of Dehn surgery on links and the study of trisections of closed, smooth 4-manifolds. In addition, we describe how the po…
