Abstract: Within crystallization theory, two interesting PL invariants for $d$-manifolds have been introduced and studied, namely {it gem-complexity} and {it regular genus}. In the present paper we prove that, for any closed connected PL $4$-manifold $M$, its gem-complexity $mathitk(M)$ and its regular genus $mathcalG(M)$ satisfy: ${\displaystyle }$mathit{k}(M) geq 3 chi (M) + 10m -6 ext{and} mathcal G(M) geq 2 chi (M) + 5m -4,${\displaystyle }$ where $rk(p{i}_1(M))=m.$ These lower bounds enable to strictly improve previously known estimations for regular genus and gem-complexity of product 4-manifolds. Moreover, the class of {it semi-simple crystallizations} is introduced, so that the represented PL 4-manifolds attain the above lower bounds. The additivity of both gem-complexity and regular genus with respect to connected sum is also proved for such a class of PL 4-manifolds, which comprehends all ones of "standard type", involved in existing crystallization catalogues, and their connected sums.
