摘要:Building on work by Stallings, Jaco, and Hempel in three dimensions and a more recent four-dimensional analog by Abrams, Kirby, and Gay, we show how the splitting homomorphism and group trisection constructions can be extended to functors between appropriate categories. This further enhances the bridge between smooth four-dimensional topology and the group theory of free and surface groups.
