A ug 2 00 1 Symplectic genus , minimal genus and diffeomorphisms
In this paper, the symplectic genus for any 2−dimensional class in a 4−manifold admitting a symplectic structure is introduced, and its relation with the minimal genus is studied. It is used to describe which classes in rational and irrational ruled manifolds are realized by connected symplectic surfaces. In particular, we completely determine which classes with square at least −1 in such manif...
متن کاملTopological Minimal Genus
We obtain new lower bounds of the minimal genus of a locally flat surface representing a 2-dimensional homology class in a topological 4-manifold with boundary, using the von Neumann-Cheeger-Gromov ρ-invariant. As an application our results are employed to investigate the slice genus of knots. We illustrate examples with arbitrarily large slice genus for which our lower bound is optimal but all...
متن کاملHigher genus Riemann minimal surfaces
Even though the classification of genus zero, embedded minimal surfaces is not complete, W. H. Meeks J. Perez and A. Ros [14], [15], [16] have made progress concerning the question of the uniqueness of the Riemann examples in the class of genus zero embedded minimal surfaces which have an infinite number of ends. They conjecture in [15] that every embedded minimal surface of finite genus and wi...
متن کاملOn the minimal genus of 2-complexes
Gross and Rosen asked if the genus of a 2-dimensional complex K embeddable in some (orientable) surface is equal to the genus of the graph of appropriate barycentric subdivision of K. We answer the nonorientable genus and the Euler genus versions of Gross and Rosen's question in affirmative. We show that this is not the case for the orientable genus by proving that taking blog2 gcth barycentric...
متن کاملDiffeomorphisms, Symplectic Forms, and Kodaira Fibrations
As was recently pointed out by McMullen and Taubes [6], there are 4manifolds for which the diffeomorphism group does not act transitively on the deformation classes of orientation-compatible symplectic structures. This note points out a huge class of rather different examples, arising as orientation-reversed versions of some complex surfaces constructed by Kodaira [3]. Supported in part by NSF ...
