| contents | We prove an upper bound for the first Betti number of a nontrivial genus-$g$ Lefschetz fibration. We also show that if the monodromy of a Lefschetz fibration is transitive with respect to the mapping class group, the Lefschetz fibration is simply connected. Lastly, we discuss a potential family of indecomposable genus-2 Lefschetz fibrations with maximally non-trivial first homology which would be candidates for large fundamental group computations, if they exist. |
