Abstract

We construct two types of nonholomorphic Lefschetz fibrations over S 2 with (-1)-sections-hence, they are fiber sum indecomposable-by giving the corresponding positive relators. One type of the two does not satisfy the slope inequality (a necessary condition for a fibration to be holomorphic) and has a simply connected total space, and the other has a total space that cannot admit any complex structure in the first place. These give an alternative existence proof for nonholomorphic Lefschetz pencils without Donaldson's theorem.
