Course description and aims
It was shown recently that the diffeomorphism type of a closed oriented four-manifold can be described by a combinatorial data, consisting of vanishing cycles of a stable mapping from a four-manifold to a surface (cf. a surface diagram by Williams, and a trisection by Gay-Kirby). In this course, we first introduce basic notions concerning stable mappings to surfaces, such as folds, cusps and vanishing cycles. We then explain how to analyse vanishing cycles of stable mappings on four-manifolds and combinatorial data mentioned above relying on the theory of mapping class groups of surfaces.
The aim of this course is to explain the effects of generic homotopies between stable mappings on their vanishing cycles in terms of mapping class groups of surfaces. We would also like to explain how to determine combinatorial data coming from (explicit examples of) stable mappings on four-manifolds.
