Abstract: Let M be a connected compact PL 4-manifold with boundary. In this article, we have given several lower bounds for regular genus and gem-complexity of the manifold M. In particular, we have proved that if M is a connected compact 4-manifold with h boundary components then its gem-complexity mathitk(M) satisfies the following inequalities: mathit{k}(M)geq 3chi(M)+7m+7h-10 mbox{ and }mathit{k}(M)geq mathit{k}(partial M)+3chi(M)+4m+6h-9, and its regular genus mathcalG(M) satisfies the following inequalities: mathcal{G}(M)geq 2chi(M)+3m+2h-4mbox{ and }mathcal{G}(M)geq mathcal{G}(partial M)+2chi(M)+2m+2h-4, where m is the rank of the fundamental group of the manifold M. These lower bounds enable to strictly improve previously known estimations for regular genus and gem-complexity of a PL 4-manifold with boundary. Further, the sharpness of these bounds has also been shown for a large class of PL 4-manifolds with boundary.
