Abstract: We show that any 4-manifold admitting a -trisection is an irregular 3-fold cover of the 4-sphere whose branching set is a surface in , 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.
