Existence of Lefschetz fibrations on Stein and Weinstein domains

Emmanuel Giroux and John Pardon

Geometry & Topology 21 (2017) 963–997
Abstract

We show that every Stein or Weinstein domain may be presented (up to deformation) as a Lefschetz fibration over the disk. The proof is an application of Donaldson’s quantitative transversality techniques.
