Trisections and Flat Surface Bundles

Abstract: We’ll start with a look at how to trisect trivial surface bundles over surfaces and how to draw the corresponding diagrams. We’ll then move into a discussion of what changes when we shift to trisecting nontrivial surface bundles, and why flatness matters for my diagram construction.
