Diagrams of *-Trisections

Abstract

In this note we provide a generalization for the definition of a trisection of a 4-manifold with boundary. We demonstrate the utility of this more general definition by finding a trisection diagram for the Cacime Surface, and also by finding a trisection-theoretic way to perform logarithmic surgery. In addition, we describe how to perform 1-surgery on closed trisections. The insight gained from this description leads us to a classification of the Farey trisection diagrams.
