Abstract

We give examples of foliations that answer two questions posed by Mitsumatsu and Vogt about the genus minimizing properties of closed leaves of 2-dimensional foliations on 4-manifolds. By studying stable commutator lengths in certain stable mapping class groups, we also answer an asymptotic version of another question of theirs concerning bounds on self-intersection numbers of multisections in surface bundles.
