Classification conjecture for genus-1 simplified broken Lefschetz fibrations

Let MM be a 44-manifold admitting a genus-11 simplified broken Lefschetz fibration (SBLF) structure with non-empty round singular locus. Write \sharp for connected sum, and let LnL_n and LnL_n^{\prime} denote the manifolds used in the classification of genus-11 SBLFs. Classification conjecture. If MM admits such a structure, then it is diffeomorphic to one of the following 44-manifolds:

  • kCP2lCP2\sharp k\mathbb{CP}^2\sharp l\overline{\mathbb{CP}^2}, where l>0l>0 and k0k\geq 0;
  • k(S2×S2)\sharp k(S^2\times S^2), where k0k\geq 0;
  • S1×S3SkCP2S^1\times S^3\sharp S\sharp k\overline{\mathbb{CP}^2}, where k0k\geq 0 and SS is either S2×S2S^2\times S^2 or S2×~S2S^2\widetilde{\times}S^2;
  • LkCP2L\sharp k\overline{\mathbb{CP}^2}, where k0k\geq 0 and LL is either LnL_n or LnL_n^{\prime}.

More strongly, the families of genus-11 SBLFs obtained in the cited section should contain all genus-11 SBLFs with non-empty round singular locus. The statement proposes a complete diffeomorphism classification, but the supplied text gives no resolution status.
