The existence of an indecomposable minimal genus two Lefschetz fibration

Abstract

It was shown by Usher that any fiber sum of Lefschetz fibrations over S2 is minimal, which was conjectured by Stipsicz. We prove that the converse does not hold by showing that there exists an indecomposable minimal genus-2 Lefschetz fibration.
