Abstract:

In this paper, we consider two necessary conditions: the irreducibility of the holonomy group and the slope inequality for which a Lefschetz fibration over a closed orientable surface is a holomorphic fibration. We show that these two conditions are independent in the sense that neither one implies the other.
