Lefschetz Fibrations and real Lefschetz fibrations

Nermin Salepci (2014)

Winter Braids Lecture Notes

This note is based on the lectures that I have given during the winter school Winter Braids IV, School on algebraic and topological aspects of braid groups held in Dijon on 10 - 13 February 2014. The aim of series of three lectures was to give an overview of geometrical and topological properties of 4-dimensional Lefschetz fibrations. Meanwhile, I could briefly introduce real Lefschetz fibrations, fibrations which have certain symmetry, and could present some interesting features of them.This note...

Line bundles with c 1 L 2 = 0

We prove that on a C W -complex the obstruction for a line bundle L to be the fractional power of a suitable pullback of the Hopf bundle on a 2-dimensional sphere is the vanishing of the square of the first Chern class of L . On the other hand we show that if one looks at integral powers then further secondary obstructions exist.
