Inanc Baykur, Kenta Hayano, and Naoyuki Monden (arXiv:1903:02906) is diffeomorphic to an elliptic surface. As a result: (1) the symplectic Calabi-Yau 4-manifolds among their family are diffeomorphic to the standard K3 surface; (2) each elliptic surface E(n) admits a genus g Lefschetz pencil, for all g greater than or equal to n; and (3) each elliptic surface E(n) blown up once admits a pair of inequivalent genus g Lefschetz pencils, for all g greater than or equal to n.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-08-10T18:39:54.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "elliptic surface", "branched covers", "unchaining surgery", "lefschetz pencil", "standard k3 surface" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 24, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
