Filling braided links with trisected surfaces
Jeffrey Meier
We introduce the concept of a bridge trisection of a neatly embedded surface in a compact four-manifold, generalizing previous work with Alexander Zupan in the setting of closed su…
Cubic graphs induced by bridge trisections
Jeffrey Meier, Abigail Thompson, Alexander Zupan
Every embedded surface in the 4-sphere admits a bridge trisection, a decomposition of into three simple pieces. In this case, the surface $\mathca…
Symplectic 4-manifolds admit Weinstein trisections
Peter Lambert-Cole, Jeffrey Meier, Laura Starkston
We prove that every symplectic 4-manifold admits a trisection that is compatible with the symplectic structure in the sense that the symplectic form induces a Weinstein structure o…
Branched covers bounding rational homology balls
Paolo Aceto, Jeffrey Meier, Allison N. Miller +3
Prime power fold cyclic branched covers along smoothly slice knots all bound rational homology balls. This phenomenon, however, does not characterize slice knots. In this paper, we…
