Abstract |
|
Let M be a smooth 4-manifold which admits a Lefschetz fibration over D2 or S2. We develop an algorithm to compute the signature of M using the global monodromy of this fibration. As a corollary we prove that there is no hyperelliptic Lefschetz fibration over S2 with only reducible singular fibers. |
