On sections of genus two Lefschetz fibrations

Sinem Çelik Onaran

Vol. 248 (2010), No. 1, 203–216
Abstract

We find new relations in the mapping class group of a genus 2 surface with n boundary components for n = 1,,8 that induce a genus 2 Lefschetz fibration CP2 # 13CP2 S2 with n disjoint sections. As a consequence, we show any holomorphic genus 2 Lefschetz fibration without separating singular fibers admits a section.
