A Morse 2-function is a generic smooth map from a smooth manifold to a surface. In the absence of definite folds (in which case we say that the Morse 2-function is indefinite), these are natural generalizations of broken (Lefschetz) fibrations. We prove existence and uniqueness results for indefinite Morse 2-functions mapping to arbitrary compact, oriented surfaces. “Uniqueness” means there is a set of moves which are sufficient to go between two homotopic indefinite Morse 2-functions while remaining indefinite throughout. We extend the existence and uniqueness results to indefinite, Morse 2-functions with connected fibers.

We show that any smooth, closed, oriented, connected 4-manifold can be trisected into three copies of \( \#^k(\mathbb{S}^1\times \mathbb{B}^3) \) , intersecting pairwise in 3-dimensional handlebodies, with triple intersection a closed 2-dimensional surface. Such a trisection is unique up to a natural stabilization operation. This is analogous to the existence, and uniqueness up to stabilization, of Heegaard splittings of 3-manifolds. A trisection of a 4-manifold \( X \) arises from a Morse 2-function \( G:X\to \mathbb{B}^2 \) and the obvious trisection of \( \mathbb{B}^2 \) , in much the same way that a Heegaard splitting of a 3-manifold \( Y \) arises from a Morse function \( g:Y\to \mathbb{B}^1 \) and the obvious bisection of \( \mathbb{B}^1 \) .

Abstract

BibTeX
A trisection of a smooth, closed, oriented 4-manifold is a decomposition into three 4-dimensional 1-handlebodies meeting pairwise in 3-dimensional 1-handlebodies, with triple intersection a closed surface. The fundamental groups of the surface, the 3-dimensional handlebodies, the 4-dimensional handlebodies and the closed 4-manifold, with homomorphisms between them induced by inclusion, form a commutative diagram of epimorphisms, which we call a trisection of the 4-manifold group. A trisected 4-manifold thus gives a trisected group; here we show that every trisected group uniquely determines a trisected 4-manifold. Together with Gay and Kirby’s existence and uniqueness theorem for 4-manifold trisections, this gives a bijection from group trisections modulo isomorphism and a certain stabilization operation to smooth, closed, connected, oriented 4-manifolds modulo diffeomorphism. As a consequence, smooth 4-manifold topology is, in principle, entirely group-theoretic. For example, the smooth 4-dimensional Poincaré conjecture can be reformulated as a purely group-theoretic statement.
