Rational homology disk smoothings and Lefschetz fibrations

Hakho Choi

Seoul National University

Abstract

In this article, we generalize the results discussed in \cite{MR2783383} by introducing a genus to generic fibers of Lefschetz fibrations. That is, we give families of relations in the mapping class groups of genus-1 surfaces with boundaries that represent rational homology disk smoothings of weighted homogeneous surface singularities whose resolution graphs are $3$-legged with a bad central vertex.

Keywords: Lefschetz fibration, rational homology disk smoothing, rational blowdowns
