For any g ≥ 3, we construct genus-g Lefschetz fibrations over the two-sphere whose slopes are arbitrarily close to 2. The total spaces of the Lefschetz fibrations can be chosen to be minimal and simply connected. It is also shown that the infimum and the supremum of slopes of all Lefschetz fibrations over the two-sphere are not realized as slopes.

For an integer m ≥ 2let ξm denote a primitive complex m − th root of unity. We call a v-periodic sequence a = (a1, a1, ..., av−1, ...) an m − ary sequence if a1, a1, ..., av−1 ∈ εm. (εm = 1, ξm, ξ2 m, ξ(m−1) m ). An almost m-ary sequence if a0 = 0anda0, a1, ..., av−1 ∈ εm.. For 1 ≤ t ≤ v1 the autocorrelation function Ca(t) is defined by Ca(t) = vX−1 i=0 aiai+t where a is the complex conjugate of a. An m − ary or almost m − ary sequence a of period v is called a perfect sequence (PS) if Ca(t) = 0 for all 1 ≤...
On diamond products ensuring irreducibility of the associated composed product
İrimağzi, Canberk; Özbudak, Ferruh (Informa UK Limited, 2023-2-16)
Let f and g be two irreducible polynomials of coprime degrees m and n whose zeroes lie in a set G⊆F¯¯¯q . Let ⋄ be a diamond product on G. We define the weaker cancelation property of ⋄ and show that it is sufficient to conclude that the composed product of f and g derived from ⋄ is an irreducible polynomial of degree mn. We also prove that a wide class of diamond products on finite fields satisfy the weaker cancelation property. These results extend the corresponding results of Brawley and Carlitz (1987...
Small Lefschetz fibrations and exotic 4-manifolds
Baykur, R. Inanc; Korkmaz, Mustafa (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2017-04-01)
We explicitly construct genus-2 Lefschetz fibrations whose total spaces are minimal symplectic 4-manifolds homeomorphic to complex rational surfaces CP2#pCP (CP) over bar (2) for P = 7,8,9, and to 3CP(2)#qCP (CP) over bar (2) for q = 12, . . . , 19. Complementarily, we prove that there are no minimal genus-2 Lefschetz fibrations whose total spaces are homeomorphic to any other simply-connected 4-manifold with b(+) <= 3, with one possible exception when b(+) = 3. Meanwhile, we produce positive Dehn twist fac...
Value sets of folding polynomials over finite fields
Küçüksakallı, Ömer (2019-01-01)
Let k be a positive integer that is relatively prime to the order of the Weyl group of a semisimple complex Lie algebra g. We find the cardinality of the value sets of the folding polynomials P-g(k)(x) is an element of Z[x] of arbitrary rank n >= 1, over finite fields. We achieve this by using a characterization of their fixed points in terms of exponential sums.
