Lefschetz fibrations with infinitely many sections

Seraphina Eun Bi Lee ⟨seraphinalee@uchicago.edu⟩

Abstract:

A Lefschetz fibration M4S2 is a generalization of a surface bundle which also allows finitely many nodal singular fibers. The Arakelov–Parshin rigidity theorem implies that holomorphic Lefschetz fibrations of genus g2 admit only finitely many holomorphic sections. In this talk, we will show that no such finiteness result holds for smooth or symplectic sections by giving examples of genus-g (g2) Lefschetz fibrations with infinitely many homologically distinct sections. This is joint work with Carlos A. Serván.
