Exotic Structures on Smooth 4-manifolds
نویسنده
چکیده
A short survey of exotic smooth structutes on 4-manifolds is given with a special emphasis on the corresponding cork structures. Along the way we discuss some of the more recent results in this direction, obtained jointly with R. Matveyev, B.Ozbagci, C.Karakurt and K.Yasui.

Exotic Smooth Structures on 3cp 2 ♯8cp
We show that the exotic 4-manifolds with b+2 = 3 and b − 2 = 8 constructed by A. Stipsicz and Z. Szabó in [SS2] are simply connected. As a corollary, we conclude that a topological 4-manifold 3CP ♯8CP 2 admits infinitely many distinct smooth structures.
متن کاملSymplectic Rational Blowdowns
We prove that the rational blowdown, a surgery on smooth 4-manifolds introduced by Fintushel and Stern, can be performed in the symplectic category. As a consequence, interesting families of smooth 4-manifolds, including the exotic K3 surfaces of Gompf and Mrowka, admit symplectic structures. A basic problem in symplectic topology is to understand what smooth manifolds admit a symplectic struct...
متن کاملExotic Smooth Structures on Small 4-manifolds with Odd Signatures
Let M be CP2#2CP2, 3CP2#4CP2 or (2n−1)CP2#2nCP2 for any integer n ≥ 3. We construct an irreducible symplectic 4-manifold homeomorphic to M and also an infinite family of pairwise non-diffeomorphic irreducible non-symplectic 4-manifolds homeomorphic to M . We also construct such exotic smooth structures when M is CP2#4CP2 or 3CP2#kCP2 for k = 6, 8, 10.
متن کاملGroup actions on 4-manifolds: some recent results and open questions
A survey of finite group actions on symplectic 4-manifolds is given with a special emphasis on results and questions concerning smooth or symplectic classification of group actions, group actions and exotic smooth structures, and homological rigidity and boundedness of group actions. We also take this opportunity to include several results and questions which did not appear elsewhere.
متن کاملConstructing Infinitely Many Smooth Structures on Small 4-manifolds
The purpose of this article is twofold. First we outline a general construction scheme for producing simply-connected minimal symplectic 4-manifolds with small Euler characteristics. Using this scheme, we illustrate how to obtain irreducible symplectic 4-manifolds homeomorphic but not diffeomorphic to CP#(2k + 1)CP for k = 1, . . . , 4, or to 3CP#(2l + 3)CP for l = 1, . . . , 6. Secondly, for e...
