%0 Journal Article %T On genera of Lefschetz fibrations and finitely presented groups %A Ryoma Kobayashi %J Mathematics %D 2014 %I arXiv %X It is known that every finitely presented group is the fundamental group of the total space of a Lefschetz fibration. In this paper, we give another proof which improves the result of Korkmaz. In addition, Korkmaz defined the genus of a finitely presented group. We also evaluate upper bounds for genera of some finitely presented groups. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1403.7736v1
