Article Description

We show that any 4-manifold admitting a (g;k1,k2,0)-trisection is an irregular 3-fold cover of the 4-sphere whose branching set is a surface in S4, smoothly embedded except for one singular point which is the cone on a link. A 4-manifold admits such a trisection if and only if it has a handle decomposition with no 1-handles; it is conjectured that all simply-connected 4-manifolds have this property.
